Rotary Club of Folomo has empowered police officers’ wives in Folomo Barracks, Lagos, with skills in various trades to make them entrepreneurs. Also, 10 women benefitted from a N500,000 loan, with each getting N50,000 to start a business. One of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Elizabeth Gwalkywa, who was visibly elated, said she was happy not only…
She said, “The N500,000 was shared as loan to 10 beneficiaries, meaning that each person got N50,000. People may think that money is too small, but some people are going to be counting their own money in a’ few months’ time and begin to assist their families. Our husbands’ salaries are too small. “They should know that the loan is tied to Nigeria Police Microfinance Bank, where their husbands who are policemen receive their monthly salaries. After six months and the loan is not paid, the money will be deducted from their husbands salaries, which is not good,” Sule said. “They should be able to assist their husbands. Anyway, our president, Ijeoma Onyeador, has preached to them a lot and a word is enough for the wise.
