Senator Saliu Mustapha, representing Kwara Central in the National Assembly, has launched a three-day empowerment program for Aso-Oke weavers in collaboration with the National Productivity Centre. The initiative, aimed at enhancing productivity and improving the livelihoods of traditional weavers, will run from Thursday, December 5, to Saturday, December 7, 2024.
The program offers participants capacity-building training, modern weaving equipment, and capital support to help them compete effectively in the textile industry. In a statement shared by the Senator’s Media Assistant, Nasif Sholagberu, the initiative is designed to preserve cultural heritage while boosting economic opportunities in the Kwara Central Senatorial District.
