Lagos govt. earmarks N4bn to empower Lagosians
The Lagos State Government says it has set aside a N4 billion grant to empower Lagosians with ingenious business ideas as part of activities to mark Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s first 100 days in office.
”Also, about 1,700 people have been shortlisted to benefit from a World Bank assisted Agricultural programme, and each of the beneficiaries will receive the sum of N2 million,” the commissioner said. According to him, the administration has solemnly pledged to serve the people and is committed to advance the social and economic progress of the state and its people, regardless of faith, social class, or origin of birth.
”It will be used as a place to train and retrain the staff and create more jobs for the people, such that the Lagos Waste Management Authority will be further strengthened to collect recyclable materials. He said that a block of 14 classrooms donated to the state government by the Redeemed Christian Church of God Tabernacle of David Parish, Alaguntan Village, Ajah, was inaugurated on September 3.
