In a bid to curb slothfulness associated with mediocrity crippling the development of a progressive society, the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation (WAPA), Mrs. Cecilia Bolaji Dada has promised that Lagos State Government will not tolerate the begging of alms by women as it has an array of laudable programmes created for indigents, vulnerable, widows and Peoples With Disabilities for financial independence.
The Commissioner stated this in her address at the Closing Ceremony of the Short – Term training organised for Women in Iru – Victoria Island Local Council Development Area, revealing that a total of 15,195 beneficiaries since 2019, had received free tuition empowerment skills across the five Divisions of the State through the four-week empowerment programme.
