Lagos Commissioner Supports Business Owners, Students in Alimosho Empowerment Drive

The Lagos State Commissioner for Wealth Creation and Employment, Akinyemi Ajigbotafe, has empowered 300 residents of the Alimosho Federal Constituency with cash support and food items. Beneficiaries included small business owners, indigent students, and other vulnerable residents.

Speaking at the empowerment programme held on Saturday at the Alimosho Local Government Secretariat, Ajigbotafe said the initiative reflects his personal commitment to the development and welfare of people in the constituency. He described the gesture as a way of giving back and strengthening unity among residents.

Under the programme, about 60 indigent students received financial assistance to support their return to school, 100 business owners were given cash grants to boost their ventures, while 140 households received food items to cushion the impact of current economic challenges.

Ajigbotafe noted that the beneficiaries were drawn from all six local governments and LCDAs in Alimosho, stressing that the initiative would be sustained. He assured residents of continued periodic interventions aimed at improving livelihoods.

In a goodwill message, former Lagos State Deputy Governor Adejoke Adefulire, represented by APC chieftain Akin Bashiru, commended the commissioner and other stakeholders for what she described as a timely and people-focused intervention.
