DR. MARY ALILE IDELE’S PROJECT 774 EXPLODE SHINES AS BEACON OF WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT IN NIGERIA
In a charged atmosphere pulsating with purpose and inspiration, Dr. Mary Alile Idele, National Woman Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), shared insights on the transformative Project 774 Explode with members of the press in Edo State on Tuesday, October 7, 2025. Joined by a distinguished beneficiary whose life has been profoundly impacted, the engagement spotlighted the initiative’s far-reaching empowerment drive. Dr. Alile Idele articulated with conviction the project’s core objectives – galvanizing women’s inclusion, bolstering their socio-political capacity, and embedding empowerment as a catalyst for national development. “Our goal with Project 774 Explode is to ensure women are integral to Nigeria’s progress, equipped with skills and opportunities to lead and inspire,” she affirmed. A heartfelt testimonial from the beneficiary underscored the project’s life-changing impact. “Project 774 Explode has been a beacon of hope, opening doors to opportunities I never thought possible. From Benue to Sokoto and now Edo State, this initiative radiates promise across Nigeria,” she expressed with gratitude. Launched in states like Benue under Governor Hyacinth Alia’s support, Project 774 Explode provides training, skills acquisition and financial empowerment – including N500,000 grants to beneficiaries in Benue for business start-ups. Dr. Alile Idele previously highlighted Nigeria’s concerning low women representation in politics, noting only about 5-6% hold political offices, stressing the need for greater inclusion. Dr. Mary Alile Idele’s dynamic leadership positions Project 774 Explode as a pivotal force redefining empowerment. “Under her stewardship, the project rekindles faith in equitable leadership and inclusive progress,” observers note. The APC woman leader has praised President Bola Tinubu’s efforts, citing 19% women representation in his cabinet as commendable progress. With expansions across states including Sokoto, Project 774 Explode remains central to Dr. Alile Idele’s vision for women’s socio-political advancement.
