The Gbenga Hashim Foundation has reinforced its commitment to grassroots development by distributing an additional N12.5 million to small business owners across Kwara State.
This latest disbursement raises the foundation’s total cash empowerment in Kwara for 2024 to nearly N100 million, providing significant support to entrepreneurs and bolstering local economies.
Extending its reach beyond Kwara, the foundation has executed similar initiatives in Osun, Kogi, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), underlining its dedication to fostering economic self-reliance nationwide.
In Kwara State alone, the 2024 program empowered 1,000 small business owners across all 16 local government areas, equipping them with critical funding to enhance their livelihoods and expand operations.
At the disbursement ceremony held at Sity Inn Hotel, Ilorin, Gbenga Hashim, represented by Abdulrazaq Hamzat, urged beneficiaries to use the grants wisely.
He emphasised that responsible utilization could pave the way for even greater support in the future.
“If you use this small grant well and show us the result of your engagement, you will qualify for another phase which will be bigger,” he stated.
Beneficiaries expressed profound gratitude for the initiative, which many described as a lifeline for struggling businesses.
One of the beneficiaries Mariam Ajao, shared her experience: “I came because I have benefited from the Gbenga Hashim Empowerment. They credited the support to our account since last week, and when I heard this event was coming up, I felt I had to be here even though it is not compulsory.”
Alhaja Aladi, a long-time associate of Gbenga Hashim, commended his integrity and leadership.
“Gbenga Hashim is a man of integrity and a leader who carries everyone along. I encourage all attendees to imbibe his values in the course of their business,” she said.
Representing other coordinators, Ilorin East Local Government Coordinator, Kolapo Olaitan, highlighted the unique structure of the programme, noting that beneficiaries were credited before the event.
“We are here as representatives of larger beneficiaries to commend the foundation for this initiative. Gbenga Hashim Foundation did not ask people to converge here to collect empowerment; everyone had already received their funds,” he explained.
Promoted by prominent politician and former presidential candidate Gbenga Hashim, the foundation continues to champion small business empowerment and economic growth.
With its ongoing efforts, the Gbenga Hashim Foundation is setting a benchmark for sustainable grassroots development and nationwide economic transformation.
