The Federal Government, in collaboration with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and VCDP, has provided certain physically challenged people with Point of Sale (POS) machines in Anambra State’s Ogbaru LGA.

Atani’s LGA secretariat hosted the presentation.
Mr. Chukwujekwu Obianefo, VCDP Rural Finance officer, noted that the POS terminal was viewed as a critical tool for empowerment in order to serve the vulnerable across the participating LGAs.

He stated that the LGAs of Ogbaru, Ihiala, and Orumba South are being used as a test area, which will be expanded to other LGAs in due course.

Mr. Obianefo stated that the assistance was part of the VCDP’s financial inclusion mainstreaming program, as well as the Program’s concern for the underprivileged and persons with disabilities in order to help them escape poverty.

During the presentation, Mr. Pascal Aniegbuna, Chairman of Ogbaru LGA, urged the recipients to make wise use of government intervention and support through Agricultural Programmes such as the Value Chain Development Programme (VCDP) to improve their lives.

He urged them to accept the assistance with a warm hug because it is intended to help them become financially independent, noting that such a gift is uncommon.
Mr. Aniegbuna thanked the International Fund for Agricultural Development, IFAD, and the VCDP for their assistance.

Mrs. Amaka Onyema, a physically challenged primary healthcare worker, commended the IFAD-VCDP for the kind gesture on behalf of herself and other beneficiaries, promising that they would put it to good use and fulfill the goal of the support.
