Member representing Ikeja Federal Constituency at the federal house of representatives, Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke has again facilitated another round of empowerment for small-sized business owners in Ikeja Federal Constituency. The programme was held in Ikeja local government secretariat hall.
In partnership with Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research (NIOMR), 66 business entrepreneurs were empowered, and also given financial grant to scale up their business.
