The Muhydeen Okunlola Kayode (MOK) Foundation has initiated a ₦1 million market drive aimed at supporting and uplifting traders at Ipata Market in Ilorin East Local Government Area (LG).
The ambitious programme, which commenced earlier this month, has already brought significant relief and joy to numerous beneficiaries.
Traders have begun sharing their positive experiences, highlighting the immediate impact of the foundation’s intervention.
“This support has come at the right time,” stated Mrs. Abdulrasheed Aminat, Iyaloja General of Ilorin East LG.
The market drive is a strategic component of the foundation’s broader mission to empower local enterprises and stimulate economic growth within the community.
By providing financial support, the initiative enables traders to restock inventory, expand their businesses, and navigate economic challenges more effectively.
Among the beneficiaries is Mallam BABA Maimasa, a prominent market leader, who lauded the foundation for its unwavering commitment to empowering local businesses.
The ₦1 million market drive is expected to benefit hundreds of traders at Ipata Market, with plans to extend the initiative to major markets across Kwara State.

By fostering a supportive environment for traders, the MOK Foundation is playing a pivotal role in driving sustainable economic progress in Kwara State.
The foundation’s initiatives continue to resonate with the community, setting a precedent for future endeavors aimed at enhancing the livelihoods of local entrepreneurs.
