The Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum has released N100 million and empowerment tools to 5,340 tailors in the state to improve their businesses.
The Governor disclosed this during a brief ceremony held at the multi-purpose hall of the Government House, Maiduguri.
“We have distributed N100 million through the Borno Renaissance Microfinance Bank to 2,000 tailors with another 3,340 receiving different types of working tools that include industrial machines, butterfly sewing machines, designing machines, and electrical generator sets.
“We will want other tailoring associations to compile a list of members from all the 27 local government areas that have not benefited from today’s distribution so that we support them in our 2nd and 3rd distribution exercises,” Zulum said.
The Governor added that Sunday’s intervention was for a first batch as more associations of tailors from across the 27 local government areas would be supported.
Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Ibrahim Kachalla, commended the governor for the support, noting that it will go a long way in boosting their businesses.
