N50 Million Naira women… another fluff?

 

The Ondo State government says it has concluded arrangements for the disbursement of N50 million as soft loans to market women in the state under its first stage of a women empowerment scheme.

This gesture, according to Governor Olusegun Mimiko is in line with his administration's determination to provide a shield for the womenfolk who are the backbone of the family.

From here.

This appears to be another  dangerous, if not fraudulent attempt to look good, while intentionally being dubious.

So the government disburses N50 million loans to market women- How’s to determine who qualifies for the loans ? 

It has all the colour of the dubious Obasanjo strategy of recent old where monies are distributed between party members in the name of alleviating poverty.

Unless someone is not communicating his ideas properly,  I sense another N50 million of state resources, going down the drain here.  What do you think ?
