Rotary Amuwo commits N20m to fund micro credit scheme, other projects 

Rotary Club of Amuwo Odofin District 9110 has committed N20 million to enhance the economic power of underprivileged women in Amuwo and Ojo areas of Lagos State through the club’s micro credit lending scheme.
 
This was disclosed during the installation ceremony of the 35th President and fundraising luncheon/induction of 2021/2022 board members held in Lagos.
 
The president, Austin Njoku, said the club would also give 20 indigent women, hair dryers and grinding machines to further boost the fight against poverty.

“Apart from the poverty crisis in our country, the insecurity and corruption, high food prices have been unhelpful to the larger population, if we must all survive, then we must do more! It’s a clarion call to share part of our blessings and strengthen the fabric of our society,” he said.
 
The Chairman, Installation Committee, Goni Zakari, called for donation of funds to help the execution of the various projects.
According to him, the funds are needed at this critical time where 80 per cent of the country’s population are living below the poverty line.
 
“We need to do more and save humanity, times are hard indeed and this is unprecedented in our history as a nation. Please note that we cannot achieve much without funds and this is very critical,” he said.
