Start Akara or Kuli-Kuli with Little Capital, Says First Lady – Is It Enough?
Nigeria’s First Lady says businesses like akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli require minimal start-up capital and can help families weather the current economic storm.

Mrs. Tinubu highlighted interventions including ₦2 billion for tuberculosis treatment, ₦1 billion for breast cancer support, ₦500 million to fight malnutrition, plus scholarships, ICT training and other empowerment initiatives. Her remarks have sparked mixed reactions online. Some believe these small ventures can boost household incomes. Others argue soaring costs and supply-chain challenges make survival tougher than ever.
