Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has emphasized the importance of small-scale entrepreneurship as a pathway to economic empowerment for many Nigerians.
Speaking in a recent video, the First Lady said that starting certain businesses does not require huge capital, noting that ventures such as selling akara, roasting corn, and producing kulikuli can provide sustainable sources of income for individuals and families.
According to her, government grants and support programmes are intended to help citizens establish or expand such businesses, particularly at the grassroots level.
"To start an akara business doesn't take a lot of money. To start roasting corn or even making kulikuli does not require much capital," she stated while discussing efforts aimed at supporting Nigerians economically.
Senator Tinubu also highlighted various social intervention initiatives carried out by her office and related organizations. She noted that significant financial assistance has been provided to individuals facing serious health challenges, with billions of naira reportedly disbursed to support medical treatments for vulnerable Nigerians.
The First Lady maintained that these interventions are part of broader efforts to provide relief and hope to citizens experiencing economic and health-related difficulties.
Her comments have generated discussions on social media, with some Nigerians welcoming the emphasis on entrepreneurship and government support, while others have called for broader economic reforms and increased job opportunities.
As Nigeria continues to face economic challenges, experts say that a combination of entrepreneurship support, social welfare programmes, and long-term economic policies will be crucial in improving living standards across the country.
