At the programme held in Gambari area of Ilorin, Kwara state today, Fatai disclosed that qualitative empowerment of the masses is far better than given them pittance.
According to him: “Even though i am not currently occupying any political office, but It is my covenant to ably do resoundingly well for my people and i felt the only way to achieve this is through the donation of equipment and tools that would aid them in making a livelihood”
His words: “I am always happy to see my people do well in their various field of expertise and tgis can only be accomplished by providing for them the necessary equipment to enable them practice, and i believed they will all make use of those tools judiciously and to the great benefit of thier families. In the next couple of days, we will be giving out JAMB forms to student so as to enable them further their studies and also as a way of improving qualitative education in the state.
Items distributed at the empowerment programme include cars, Generators, sewing machines, clippers to mention but a few.
