His Royal Highness, the Otaru of Auchi, Alhaji Aliru H. Momoh, Ikelebe III in line with his promise during the last Auchi Day celebrations, has released the sum of N5 million to the Asalatu Women Islamic Prayer Group in Auchi to assist in uplifting their economic activities.

He made this promise during the Auchi Day celebrations held on January 8, 2016, when he publicly praised the women for their steadfastness in praying for the peace and progress of Auchi kingdom, adding that from his observation, he had no doubt that Almighty Allah was listening to their prayers, a reason he acknowledged was largely responsible for the relative peace and progress in the domain, urging them to intensify their prayers and that the community will assist them by organizing them into Economic Empowerment Groups, EEGs for Community and Government assistance.

The Chairman of Auchi Empowerment Committee, Alh. Chief Sule Duru Yesufu, the Daudu of Aibotse Village revealed that his committee worked very hard in organizing them into viable EEGs, adding that cheques have being released to the first set of beneficiaries of the first batch of 100 groups comprising 1000 women and the subsequent batches, there are still about 3500 women not yet fully organized who
stand to benefit as well.

Daudu Yusuf expressed deep gratitude to His Royal Highness, for the gesture, stating that it was unprecedented in the history of Auchi kingdom and that no other kingdom he knows of in Edo State that has done anything remotely near this.

He promised to bring his wealth of experience to bear in ensuring that the women work harder to enhance economic power base in families in Auchi kingdom.
