Illustrative Project: | In the area of poverty eradication, we mobilised rural communities in Rivers State to form co-operative societies which enabled them access credit for various micro-economic projects; especially in the area of agro-processing. The projects provided employment for women and youths and rendered economic services to the communities. |
