Speaking at the 5th edition of the Community Sensitisation and Empowerment Initiative by the Office of the First Lady of Lagos State, Sanwo- Olu, who said that the empowerment is part of the commitment to the well- being and prosperity of every individual in the state, urged the beneficiaries to put the tools to good use to liberate themselves and become independent individuals.

The governor’s wife also appealed to individuals and private organisations to emulate the efforts of the state government at this critical period by providing empowerment support to deserving individuals as a way of supporting the government and the would- be beneficiaries.

She said that the effort stands as a testament to the collective resolve to empower the communities, uplift the marginalised, and foster a culture of inclusivity and progress as partners in a shared vision of a greater Lagos.

She added that empowerment in form of cash, vocational tools and human resources are some of the ways which the Office of the First Lady corroborates the efforts of some state government ministries, departments and agencies that have the core mandates for human capacity development and empowerment programmes.

“Interventions from the Office of the First Lady of Lagos State, empowerment of the citizens occupy a unique position, because this gesture is extended to both young and old men and women.
