“This initiative is part of effort by Senator Pwajok to increase small and medium scale enterprises among people of his constituency, thus improving the quality of lives of the citizenry through capacity building,” said the senator’s media officer, Mr. Chuwang Dung, who indicated during an interview with journalists in Jos over the weekend, that traders, artisans, farmers and other less privileged people were being targeted for the delivery of empowerment items scheduled for next week.
Dung said the Senate President, Senator David Mark, is expected to serve as special guest of honour during the occasion when empowerment items which include block moulding machines, tricycles, water pumps, power generating sets, milling machines, grinding machines, hair dryers, sewing machines, barbing kits, computers, and wheel chairs will be distributed.
“It is when our people are gainfully employed that they will be able to put food on their table and become self-sufficient,” he said.
