What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Nyensi Camp (E/R), Sept. 25, GNA – Mr Prince Henry Anim-Owiredu, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Okere Constituency, has announced plans to launch a microfinance scheme at the Asenema Market Centre, targeting key agricultural sectors.

The move aims at boosting the local economy and generating employment for the teeming young men and women in the Okere District, as well as providing financial assistance to small and medium-sized enterprises in the district.

Gari producers, cassava dough makers, and local farmers are the focus of this new financial plan, which aims to support these key agricultural sectors.

Mr Anim-Owiredu who gave the promise during a visit to Nana Edward Nyarko, the Odikro (Chief) of Nyensi Camp and community elders, said that the microfinance project would significantly help traders grow their businesses and create employment opportunities for young people in the farming area.

He also emphasised the NDC’s commitment to creating jobs for young people when elected to power in December.
