As part of activities marking the second anniversary of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, the Queen Adenike Tejuosho, QAT Foundation has empowered 30 vulnerable women with N100,000 each in Babansura community, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The event, held at Government Secondary School, Babansura, on Thursday also featured a special interfaith prayer session for peace, progress, and successful leadership of President Tinubu.
The prayer session was jointly led by Islamic cleric, Mallam Abubakar Liman, and Christian cleric, Pastor Gabriel Luka, in what organisers described as a demonstration of national unity and collective responsibility for Nigeria’s future.
Founder of the QAT Foundation, Dr. Halimat Adenike Tejuosho, said the empowerment initiative aligns with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, adding that women’s economic upliftment is central to national development.
Represented at the event by the foundation’s Kaduna coordinator, Dr. Zainab Danlami, Tejuosho said the foundation remains committed to addressing poverty, illiteracy, and social exclusion, particularly among women and other vulnerable groups.
According to her, “Today’s programme is our modest way of contributing to the national rebirth agenda of President Bola Tinubu. These 30 women receiving N100,000 each will have a new lease of life, and we trust they will make productive use of the funds.”
In separate remarks, the two clerics urged Nigerians to support the current administration with prayers and constructive contributions, stressing that peace, justice, and inclusiveness remain vital to Nigeria’s progress.
Some of the beneficiaries who spoke with newsmen expressed joy over the intervention, describing it as timely and impactful.
One of them, Mrs. Grace Duniya, said, “I will use the money to expand my petty trade. God bless the QAT Foundation and President Tinubu for remembering us at the grassroots.”
The QAT Foundation has carried out several humanitarian interventions across the country.
In 2024, the organisation awarded scholarships to 370 students in commemoration of the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s 64th birthday.
