Babajide who is also the Iyalaje Ojodu,said gone were the days when women were living on their husbands without contributing  anything to the  home front.

She stressed further that the idea of empowerment of giving peanuts to the women by politicians should be a thing of the past if women take advantage of these trainings that include candle making, soap making, food processing, exportation of local products etc.

She promised to facilitate a Federal Government grants to aid the women to be self reliant.
