*To Empower Another 150 Next Week


In his bid at alleviating poverty and reducing the rate of unemployment in Kosofe Federal Constituency, the Lawmaker representing the Constituency at the House of Representatives, Hon. Prince Rotimi Agunsoye, on Friday, engaged 200 Youth and Women of the Constituency in Catering.

The Lawmaker also at the end of the training doled out 50,000 Naira as start-up grants to each of the beneficiaries of the empowerment programme.
The empowerment programme was held at Galaxy Events Centre Emmanuel High Street Ojota Lagos in conjunction with Docellar Company Nigeria Limited 

Speaking at the event, the Chairman House committee on Sustainable Development Goals, represented by Mr. Durotimi Adeboye, urged beneficiaries to utilize the experience garnered at the one-day training program and also make judicious use of the start-up grants given to them.
While expressing satisfaction with the organization and the large out of constituents at the event, Hon. Agunsoye reiterated his commitment to improving their well-being through the facilitation of more impactful Skill acquisition and wealth creation Schemes.

It would be recalled that Hon. Rotimi Agunsoye since assuming office in 2015 had empowered thousands of constituents with various entrepreneurial tools and impactful wealth creation Schemes designed to generate wealth and create employments.
Even as his 2nd term tenure winds down, there seems to be no end in sight to the number of empowerment programmes the lawmaker has in stock for his constituents as another batch of 150 constituents is set to be trained on Fisheries next week.

This will take the total number of beneficiaries of his empowerment programmes to 350 within one week.
This has made beneficiaries and some guests to praise the Lawmaker for his transformative leadership and quality representation at the green chamber.

An APC leader in the Constituency, Chief Bankole Akile, in his remark commended Hon. Agunsoye for empowering another set of 350 indigent constituents, describing it as a remarkable feat.
Chief Akile stated that Hon. Agunsoye had organized many empowerment programmes and touched many lives positively, adding that no Lawmaker in the history of the Constituency had approximated or surpassed the achievements of Hon. Agunsoye.

While praying to God to elevate the Lawmaker beyond his present status, he advised the beneficiaries to make good use of start-up money given to them.
In similar vein Elder Samuel Omowo eulogized the lawmaker for his people-oriented programme and urged the beneficiaries to make good use of the start-up grants.

Beneficiaries of the catering training empowerment programme were taught both theoretical and practical aspects on how to make Ofada Rice and Snacks among others.
Mrs. Suwebatu Adeniran Azeez, a widow from Agboyi/Ketu area of the Constituency thanked Hon. Agunsoye for the empowerment programme.

She stated that she had been in politics for long without gettiing anything meaningful in return until the Lawmaker came to her aid with the empowerment programme.
Another beneficiaries Mrs. Patience Nkem Chikwe from Ikosi/ Isheri area of the Constituency while expressing her joy over the empowerment described Hon. Agunsoye as a detribalize and responsive representative that cares a lot about the well-being of his people.
The empowerment programme was well attended by members of the All Progressives Congress, CDA/CDC, Artisans and Market women.
