Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed has disbursed N50 million to 35 artisan groups comprising of 500 members.

The governor also distributed tools and various equipment to the artisans. The action, he said, was to ensure financial autonomy for the residents.

Ahmed spoke at the weekend when he distributed the tools at the maiden anniversary of the State
Artisans Congress. The governor said the initiative was to empower artisans and ensure that their potential as major players in the economy was enhanced.

He said the N50 million was the government’s financial intervention to the people, besides the N100 million it disbursed to the congress when it was formed last year.
