AISHA Babangida is one woman, who has continued to win more souls and fans with her unfailing love for humanity. Her decision to consistently contribute towards human capacity building and more has continued to endear many to her personality.
Aisha Babangida recently opened up on the influence of her late mum, Maryam Babangida, on her personality and her view of life and humanity.
Recently, she told close friends and associates, who had queried about her uncommon personality about how her mum influenced her. She said at a very young age, she watched her father, Retd. General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, supported her mother in all her endeavours, one of which was her poultry business, and she thought it had to be the most wonderful thing to support someone in her pursuit of self-empowerment.
Aisha Babangida went further to say this event influenced and inspired the founding of her Wena Initiative, which has great emphasis on what Nigeria currently needs – agriculture and technology.
It was gathered that Aisha and her team designed a farming training and workshop for farmers tagged: ‘WenaPreneurers’ under the Wena Innovative. The workshop trained 1000 entrepreneurs serving the agricultural sector. 50 entrepreneurs were trained in October 2022, in Nursery Farming, GreenHouse Farming, hydroponics, and Irrigation Farming for two weeks. The graduated participants were supported with seed funding while training continued with new intakes.
