Adeogun Tunrayo Muslimah (ATM), a visionary entrepreneur and community development champion with over 20 years of experience in entrepreneurship, business development and social impact, marked her birthday with the official launch of the Trust Score Initiative (TSI), a non- government organisation dedicated to empowering youths and women through a Trust-Based Revolving Empowerment Model at ATM Mart, Oke Ado, Ibadan.
At the event, over fifty pioneer beneficiaries were presented with tools, equipment and products to support their day-to-day business activities. Items distributed included deep freezers, industrial sewing machines, ovens, dehydrators, mixers, generators, laptops, grinding machines, blenders and other essential business assets.
In his remarks, the Chairman of TSI and Chairman of the event, Olooye Adegboyega Taofeek Adegoke, FCA, commended the convener for choosing to celebrate her birthday by promoting the lives of fellow citizens.
“As we all know, it is not easy to get money, and for someone to decide to use her own resources to fund this laudable project, such a person deserves kudos,” the Chairman stated. He encouraged well-meaning Nigerians to follow suit and advised beneficiaries to make full use of the tools rather than selling them, so that others would benefit from the programme.
Speaking at the event, the representative of the Commissioner for Women Affairs, Mrs. Bola Dada, congratulated ATM on her birthday and praised her contributions to humanity through initiatives that improve the lives of women and youths, aligning with the policies of the present administration in Oyo State.
In her response, Adeogun Tunrayo Muslimah expressed gratitude to all who made her dream a reality, especially Olooye Adegboyega Adegoke FCA, and all special guests for their presence, wisdom, guidance and financial support.
“Today we are witnessing the birthday of a movement, a movement dedicated to empowering lives. I decided to celebrate differently. Instead of hosting a celebration that would end in a few hours, I founded the Trust Score Initiative, which will continue to impact generations long after I am gone. By His grace, what started in Ibadan will extend across Oyo State, Nigeria and Africa. May God help me,” ATM stated.
The TSI convener announced that the empowerment programme will be delivered in three batches:
– First batch: August 2026 (delivered)
– Second batch: September 2026
– Third batch: October 2026
She explained that this means two more opportunities remain this year to empower individuals, support businesses and create pathways to sustainable growth. Beneficiary selection is based on trust and integrity, and registration forms are available free of charge.
ATM called on government institutions, development agencies, traditional and faith-based institutions, professional bodies and philanthropists to join Trust Score Initiative (TSI). “Together we can strengthen institutions, create opportunities, restore hope and empower lives,” she said.
The event also featured the official launch and unveiling of the Trust Score Initiative Handbook, a practical guide for value-based leadership and responsible living. The handbook is designed to strengthen accountability, sustain empowerment and expand lasting opportunities for beneficiaries and partners.
