At least 600 South-South women have received federal government agro empowerment through its National Centre for Women Development. Parts of the packages received are seed grants and startup kits, as part of government efforts to cushion the effect of COVID-19 and uplift their living standard.

According to the Director-General of the National Center for Women Development, Mrs Mary Ekpere-Eta, beneficiaries are graduates of the post-Covid training for Innovation and Empowerment in the South-South zone of the Federation and the Kasuk Project organised by her agency.
