Ogun Trader Empowerment Initiative Supports Economic Reforms

Senator Solomon Adeola, who represents Ogun West Senatorial District and is the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), announced his market empowerment initiative aimed at supporting traders in Ogun State. This initiative, launched during the 5th edition of the Market Women/Men Support Fund Empowerment Programme at the Ojude Oba Pavilion in Ijebu Ode, provided grants of N75,000 each to 3,000 traders from Ogun East Senatorial District.

Adeola emphasized that this program complements President Tinubu’s economic reforms and is designed to alleviate economic hardships faced by traders. The initiative began on February 6, 2023, with an initial empowerment of 5,000 traders receiving N25,000 each.

Subsequent editions included a third edition in January 2024 and a fourth in April 2025, with increased grant amounts. Adeola assured future support for traders not included in the current phase and stated that this empowerment program would be a key component of his administration if elected governor in 2027.
