Chief Mrs. Yetunde Arobieke. Commissioner for Wealth Creation & Employment. Lagos State. |
The
Lagos State Commissioner for Wealth Creation and Employment, Chief Mrs. Yetunde
Arobieke has expressed the satisfaction of the State Government with the
Conditional Cash Transfer initiative of the Federal Government recently
extended to the State.
Arobieke
asserted that the programme will further boost the standard of living of the
poor masses in Lagos, just as it will ease hardship and hunger in the other
benefiting States.
Speaking
during an interview on Lagos State Traffic Radio, the Commissioner said that
following the successful completion of a four-day rigorous training for
selected staff of Local Government Councils within the State in April, the
officials had since commenced the enrolment of would-be beneficiaries of the
initiative.
She
acknowledged the commitment of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to the realisation
of the programme, applauding his insistence on holding the training exercise in
Lagos to enable residents benefit from the Federal Government's initiative.
Revealing
that the programme was abridged to accommodate the education of indigent
people, Mrs. Arobieke also expressed satisfaction with the performance of both
the Master Trainer and Facilitators who administered the training exercise.
“The
delegates from the Federal government, who trained our local government
officials, are very knowledgeable about the job and thus brought their
professionalism into play during the training,” the Commissioner stated.
She
disclosed that 33 States in Nigeria had also keyed into the initiative which
will include the completion of questionnaires by all prospective beneficiaries
in line with World Bank standards.
Commenting
on the distribution of COVID-19 Food Relief Package, Arobieke avowed that no State does it better
than Lagos, considering the way and manner the government was able to reach out
to all organised groups and associations across the State.
The
Commissioner, who also supervised the distribution of relief materials in her
Local Council Development Area, Agboyi- Ketu, and to members of the Lagos State
Council for Tradesmen and Artisans, LASCOTA, affirmed that the palliatives were
distributed to most residents of the Council and several artisans in the State.
