Senator Oluremi Tinubu To Award N13 Million Grant To Petty Traders by emiye(m): 12:05am On Nov 24, 2011 |
Senator Oluremi Tinubu To Award 13 Million Grant Small time traders in the 13 council areas within Lagos Central Senatorial Zone are to benefit from a N13 million grant launched yesterday by the senator representing the district, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu. The grant is tagged, “Petty Traders Empowerment Capital Scheme (PETECS).” Senator Tinubu said 50 traders would be given a N20, 000 non-interest facility each to invest in their businesses. She said the scheme is a grant and not a loan. Senator Tinubu said petty traders are major contributors to the sustenance of the informal sector and should be encouraged. She said the scheme is in line with the promise of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) to improve the life of the people. Senator Tinubu said the scheme is open to all residents of the district. On the selection process, she said: “Each applicant is expected to complete an application form with two passport photographs and present a well-known sponsor/referee, who is resident in any of the Local Government Areas or the Local Council Developent Areas (LCDAs) in the zone where such business exists. “The completed forms are to be submitted to the office of the chairman of their local government of origin through the chairman’s wife. “The forms should be returned on or before December 5.” Senator Tinubu said former Commissioner for Finance Mr. Wale Edun would chair the selection committee. Edun will be assisted by one representative from the Community Development Council (CDC), the woman leader and the ACN chairman in the local government area. Also to serve on the committee are the Iyaloja-General of markets and wife of the councils’ helmsmen. Senator Tinubu said the list of successful beneficiaries would be made public a day before her maiden Town Hall meeting on December 18. The fund would be managed by Skye Bank. Senator Tinubu said the grant would encourage a savings culture and prepare beneficiaries for the proposed cashless society. Edun said the committee would be fair to all. http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news/27110-traders-get-n13m-grant-from-senator.html |

jmaine: Well at least she is not like most ACN Politicians who promise everything but the kitchen-sink before they are elected. We all know where all this is headed, at least she is doing something and not making promises. Apathy for ACN at the grassroots is very high in recent times, Traditional ACNN loyalists at the grassroots know what happens after their vote is in the bag. What the Senator is doing is PR before 2015 (Tangible PR) If she can work with some Big Corporate Sponsors with robust CSR budget, she can actually get to the people that matter and have something to show for it rather than lofty promises. I hope she becomes better than Fashola given that the looming shadow of the 1-eyed BAT on Bourdillion is her husband. |

Can someone kindly remind us of the exact amount senators collect per quarter in the guise of constituency funds? emiye: It is a non interest bearing facility to be managed by a commercial bank. Are grants repayable? |

Is it 50 traders or 50 traders per local gov council? Because if it is 50 traders that is 1 million not 13 million as the headlines suggest! |

In as much as this is a noble gesture, access to the grant by those who really need it might be a challenge. I foresee it being shared by local government executives (party members) and their cronies. How does Skye Bank fit into this arrangement? I suppose a micro-finance institution/co-operative society will handle it better. |
