To celebrate the 62nd independence day, Mallam Muktar Tolani Shagaya, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Candidate for Ilorin West/Asa Federal Constituency, visited market women, Saturday and donated cash to random petty traders.
The donations are meant to assist their small businesses and other ventures of the women in the market, to ease their means of economic survival.
The humanitarian exercise of the Green chamber hopeful was implemented by his campaign media team.
The exercise took place in three selected markets in Ilorin; Oja Tuntun market, Oloje Market and Mandate market.
Those who benefited from the package were randomly selected and each of them went home with funds meant to bankroll their small businesses.
While making his remark, Mallam Muktar Tolani Shagaya said he was optimistic about the productivities of the people of Ilorin West and Asa people even with such amount, “I believe the beneficiaries can use the benefited cash to boost their businesses and have more earnings to look after their family. And I promise all comfort if reposed with the trust to represent the Ilorin West/Asa constituency at the Federal House of Representatives”.
Those who benefited from the package from across the three chosen markets commended the kind gesture of Mallam Shagaya and wished him electoral victory and success at the 2023 poll.
