A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), JAKIN, has given some financial reliefs to some women for small scale businesses, as a means to reducing the burden of economic hardship in the country. In a short brief sent to Afrikanwatch Network by the President of the NGO, Mrs. Olubukola Adebiyi, noted that the sum of N4.23 Million naira has been given out to grassroot women, reiterating that a nation is built on the basis of small scale businesses.

Almost 500 grassroot women already benefitted at least once since Phase 2 inception in August 2020.
