Lagos, Feb. 15, 2023: Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has partnered Lotus Bank to empower no fewer than 300 widows.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Mr Ibrahim Odumboni, on Wednesday in Lagos.
Odumboni commended Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu for prioritising the welfare of widows in the state.
He noted that the empowerment was achieved with his support.
“This is not the first time we will be doing this. We did it during last year’s Ramadan and by God’s grace; it is already part of our plans to replicate same in this year’s Ramadan.
“We cherish you a lot and the governor does not take your welfare lightly.
“Today, we have the partnership of Lotus Bank, which has joined us in this progressive train, to take care of your financial needs, as you open accounts with them today.
“Do not forget to exercise your civic responsibilities during the forthcoming elections, vote for the right candidate, we will continue to support you,” Odumboni said.
Odumboni quoted the Managing Director of Lotus Bank, Kafayat Araoye, as expressing appreciation to the widows for embracing the bank.
Araoye promised the widows a robust collaboration for business loans.
While assuring the women of easy and quick access to their money, especially with the current money crisis at banks, she assured them of the bank’s constant commitment to women empowerment.
Some of the beneficiaries, Mrs Tawa Obakoya and Olawunmi Badmus, who were given electronic blenders and food items, thanked the organisers for the initiative.
They promised that they would continue to support Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration.
