The Ministry recently started disbursing funds to contractors responsible for executing the scheme. Oshiobugie John, a beneficiary, praised the program, stating, “The training in producing soaps, deodorants, and other agricultural products has been invaluable.

Another participant, Anthony, commended the Ministry and Minister Abubakar Momoh for their dedication. “This initiative proves the Ministry’s commitment to making a real difference,” he said.

Contractors confirmed the ongoing payments and assured those still awaiting funds that disbursements are progressing smoothly.
