Some 50 selected members of the Oodua People’s Congress Reformed (OPC-R) have been granted N100,000 each as startup capital in a business empowerment programme out together by the group.
The empowerment was held in Lagos during which the National President, of OPC-R, Chief Dare Adesope restated his commitment to uplifting the economic status of members of group.
”I am not just a security advocate, but a man deeply committed to uplifting lives and creating real change where it matters most. Over the years, I have witnessed the struggles of our people — mothers who work hard but earn too little, youths with dreams but no tools, and families burdened by economic hardship. This is why I have made it my life’s mission to empower our members, not just with words, but with real support — in skills, resources, and opportunity.
”Today, we reaffirm that commitment. Through our initiatives, this is the 3rd episode of the empowerment as we started it in Lagos. We aim to equip more individuals with vocational training, startup support, health access, and community-building projects — to ease their burdens and restore hope.”
He added: ”However, true progress can not be achieved alone. I therefore use this moment to call on the government, private sector leaders, and all stakeholders to partner with us. Together, we can amplify impact. We can reach more people. We can move from survival to sustainability. Let us stop waiting for change. Let us be the change — together.”
