Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun says about 100,000 women in the state have benefited from the World Bank-supported Nigeria for Women Programme (NFWP). He links the initiative to efforts to reduce poverty and strengthen families and communities.
Abiodun makes the disclosure during a meeting on Monday, when he receives the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General, Ms. [name not provided in the excerpts]. Both outlets describe the same figure—100,000 women—and the same programme name and sponsor, emphasizing women’s economic empowerment as a policy tool.
While the reports broadly align on the core claims, the details in the provided excerpts differ mainly in phrasing and context. Premium Times focuses on the purpose of the empowerment—fighting poverty and strengthening families—while Daily Post Nigeria adds that the governor shares the information when he meets the UN Deputy Secretary-General. Neither outlet, in the excerpts, provides program performance data beyond the beneficiary estimate.
