Remi Tinubu Advocates for Support of Small Businesses

On Saturday, First Lady Remi Tinubu disclosed that she knows a graduate who, unable to find employment, started selling akara in Abuja and has since expanded to employ 12 workers. She emphasized the importance of supporting small businesses to uplift vulnerable Nigerians.

Tinubu called on wealthy Nigerians, especially successful figures in the entertainment industry, to establish charitable foundations aimed at supporting less privileged citizens and reducing the burden on the government. She specifically mentioned music icons Akon, Burna Boy, and Davido, highlighting their potential to contribute positively through charitable work.

The First Lady's remarks underline the need for private sector involvement in community development and the empowerment of young entrepreneurs.
