Another beneficiary, Ramon Basirat, a trader from Ibadan North West Local Government, in her appreciation remarks, said “Oloye Titilope is God-sent to the Women World, she has been there for the women, she is a voice for the female gender and even pillar of support to the youths across board. I pray that God will always come through for her, divine blessings and help will be her portion in all facets of life.”
In her remarks, Oloye Titilọpẹ Gbadamosi said “We understand the economic situation in the country and this is a time we must encourage as many small business owners and traders as possible. The token given to these women today is expected to give a boost to their businesses, pushing them a little further up on their standard of living”
The Founder of Women Too Africa Foundation stated that for the sake of transparency and accountability, a monitoring team among the women has been put in place to monitor the use of this grant, to facilitate effective distribution and implementation of Scheme.
