TSI Empowers 80 Entrepreneurs With Tools and Equipment

Trust Score Initiative (TSI), a non‑governmental organisation committed to youth and women empowerment through a Trust‑Based Revolving Empowerment Model, held the second and third batches of its 2026 empowerment programme at ATM Mart, Oke‑Ado. Eighty beneficiaries received tools, equipment and business inputs aimed at strengthening micro‑enterprises and improving livelihoods.

Items distributed included deep freezers, industrial sewing machines/ weaving machines, power metal saws, gas cylinders, ovens, metal meat pie cutters, laptops, dehydrators, suya/Asun grill machines, cameras and studio flash, generators, kegs of vegetable oil, electric shawarma toaster, cartons of biscuits and drinks, bags of baking flour and other vital business assets.

In her welcome address, Mrs. Adeogun Tunrayo Muslimah a.k.a.(ATM), convener of TSI, thanked God for the successful event and expressed profound gratitude to the event’s principal sponsors; Olooye Adegboyega Taofeek Adegoke, FCA, Aare Egbe‑Omo Balogun of Ibadan Land, Oyo State ADC party governorship candidate and Chairman, Trust Score Initiative; Farmer Kola Adeniji, Managing Director/CEO, NIJI Group of Companies; and Hon. Olufemi Onireti, Oyo State Director of City Boy Movement whose financial support and partnership made the empowerment possible. “May God bless you all and grant your heart’s desires,” Mrs. Adeogun prayed for the sponsors.

Mrs. Adeogun urged beneficiaries to act as ambassadors of TSI and to make full use of the opportunity to grow their businesses so they, too, can one day sponsor similar programme. She also invited integrity‑driven members of the public to enrol in future cohorts and called on well‑meaning Nigerians to support TSI through financial contributions or donations of essential items.

Dr. Kazeem Yusuf, chairman of the day, encouraged beneficiaries to remain faithful and to recruit others to the programme. “After this you are no longer job seekers. Please, do not disappoint the convener. Sky is the beginning , go and make us proud wherever you are,” he advised.

In their separate speeches; Mr. Bashir Jimoh, Chief Gbenga Owojori and Mrs. Oluwasegun Christina, praised Mrs. Adeogun for the initiative and reiterated TSI’s theme: promoting trust, creating value and empowering lives. They offered practical business advice to beneficiaries: separate business funds from personal money, reduce unnecessary ceremonial spending, and cultivate a habit of saving to grow one’s enterprise.

Responding on behalf of beneficiaries, Mr. Agbaje Mojeed thanked Mrs. Adeogun and the co‑sponsors for their generosity and pledged that recipients would not take the opportunity for granted. “God bless you continuously, sirs and ma,” he said.
