FG rolls out digital platform connecting women to finance, markets, skills
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expanded the Nigeria for Women Programme to reach 25 million beneficiaries nationwide, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to women’s economic inclusion and national development.
The programme’s pilot phase in six states had already reached over one million beneficiaries, with the scale-up introducing the Happy Woman App Platform, a secure digital interface that connects women to finance, skills, markets, essential services, and government support.
Speaking on Thursday at the Presidential Launch of the Programme Scale-Up at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the President, who was represented by his deputy, Vice President Kashim Shettima, noted that Nigeria cannot achieve sustainable growth without placing women at the centre of national planning.
