Adamawa Gov Launches Third Series Of Fintiri Business Wallet, Empowers 65,000 Beneficiaries

Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has launched the third series of the Fintiri Business Wallet, an empowerment program aimed at supporting micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the state.

The program, which is part of the Governor’s 8-Point Agenda, focuses on youth and women development, poverty alleviation, and commerce. It provides beneficiaries with a grant of ₦50,000 to support their businesses.

In his speech, Governor Fintiri emphasized the importance of institutionalizing poverty alleviation efforts, rather than relying on handouts. 

He highlighted the state government’s efforts to provide skills training and support for entrepreneurs, particularly in the ICT sector, which is growing rapidly in Nigeria.

The Fintiri Business Wallet has already empowered over 20,000 women in the state, with plans to expand the program to include more beneficiaries, both men and women.

The Governor noted that the program’s impact goes beyond just providing financial support, as it also helps to promote family stability and economic growth.

Other initiatives linked to the Fintiri Business Wallet, he mentioned, include the NG-Cares empowerment campaign and a project in partnership with the SDG, aimed at supporting vulnerable households.

He further said the state government has also mandated the Ministry of Entrepreneurship Development and PAWECA to provide follow-up support to beneficiaries and run “trader clinics” to build their capacity in micro-investment, savings, and bookkeeping.

Dr. Zira noted that the programme was designed to uplift the less privileged and commended Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri for his steadfastness and commitment to empower the people of Adamawa State.

The chairman of ALGON Adamawa State, Suleiman Gangkuba, saluted Governor Umaru Fintiri for sustaining the initiative that would better the lives of Adamawa populace.
