The Wife of the President, Mrs
Aisha Buhari, will today, Friday, visit Akwa Ibom state to officially flag off
her pet project, ‘Future Assured Programme’ in the state.
This was disclosed at a press
conference by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National
Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang on Thursday in Uyo
Enang said over 10,000 indigenes
of the state would benefit from the pet programme which was also supported by
the National Directorate of Employment (NDE), the Niger Delta Development
Commission (NDDC), Senator Godswill Akpabio and other members of the National
Assembly
He explained that beneficiaries
were not only members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as they cut across
party lines.
Enang, who said beneficiaries
were selected through a transparent and apolitical process by the NDE, added
that the gesture was not part of the electioneering campaigns.
He said some of the beneficiaries
would be empowered with non-refundable grants, loans, interest-free loans while
others will be trained on various areas of skills.
His words, “The wife of the
President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari will be visiting Akwa Ibom state for the purpose
of flagging off her pet project, Future Assured Programme in collaboration with
the National Directorate of Employment.
“She will be here as a guest of
the All Progressives Congress family and Akwa Ibom people to flag off that
programme which is an empowerment programme aimed at giving starter packs and
other programmes that are undertaken by her pet project, Future Assured Project
and the National Directorate of Employment.
“Other persons that would also
collaborate on that programme including the Niger Delta Development Commission,
the Senator representing Akwa Ibom
Northeast, Senator Godswill
Akpabio and other National Assembly members who have most of their constituency
