Empathy in Action: Prof. Nentawe Lifts Market Women with N50 Million Support Fund


APC Chairman Shares Hope and Opportunity in Jos
Market Women Praise Nentawe’s Compassionate Leadership

By Walbe OGAK

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has once again taken the media by storm with his latest act of generosity — just days after relaunching his free medical outreach and laying his mother to rest.

In a heartwarming show of empathy and purposeful leadership, Prof. Nentawe on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, donated N50 million to empower market women in Plateau State during a Breakfast Meeting held in Jos.

While recounting his childhood experiences and the challenges of survival, the APC Chairman underscored the need to uplift grassroots traders who remain the foundation of local commerce. He explained that N20 million would be distributed directly to the women, while N30 million would be used to establish a Cooperative Society to support their long-term business growth.

Prof. Nentawe reaffirmed the commitment of the APC-led Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to improving citizens’ welfare through people-centered initiatives and economic inclusion.

A symbolic cheque of N50 million was presented to Mama Mary, who received it on behalf of the market women. The beneficiaries, many of whom had been affected by the Jos City Renewal Programme, could not hide their excitement and gratitude for what they described as a lifeline from a leader who truly understands their struggles.

With this gesture, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda continues to redefine leadership — one rooted in compassion, service, and tangible impact.
