Agege Local Government Area of Lagos State has announced the next round of its monthly financial empowerment programme for indigent community members.
Recall that the Ganiyu Egunjobi led-government since its inception has been doling out N100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Naira) each to twenty indigent residents particularly petty business owners monthly.
The one for March was rescheduled for April bringing the numbers of potential beneficiaries this month to forty.
The cash gift is aimed at boosting recipients’ petty businesses.
While announcing plan for the special edition, which is tentatively scheduled for Friday, April 26, at the Council Secretariat, Egunjobi reiterated that the programme is a social investment initiative designed to support struggling families living in abject poverty with the view of taking them out of the woods.
The Council boss assured indigent residents yet to benefit from the scheme to exercise patience adding that a process to reach out to them is in place.
The past recipients of the largess, which cut across all walks of life including market women, artisans, politicians, members of religious organisations and traditional institutions, are listed below with their home addresses and phone numbers:
