 Moving on now, Lagos State Governor Babajde Somolou has etched individuals and corporate organizations to join hands with his government to give hope to the vulnerable and their society. The governor spoke at the official launch of the Social Welfare Integrated Programme Initiative, Sweepie. Now, plus TV Africa's Lagos State House correspondent, Love Igukui Adokun reports. The hall is full and all set for the business of the day. It is the official launch of the Social Welfare Integrated Programme Initiative, Sweepie, dedicated to care for the vulnerable in society. Nine-year-old Chidima and Suwebat Tuwaf were a case study when Governor Somolou mounted the podium to speak. I stopped the convoy and they were scared, and I asked them not to be scared, that should you tell me who they are. The lady that is in something that appears as a school uniform, because we're going to find out, her name is Chidima Amarachi, she's nine years old. Guess what she said? She said she's not going to go to school until Monday, and I asked her why. She said her parents cannot afford. This is just one of many challenges faced by the vulnerable in Nigeria. No thanks to the breakdown on the family structure and the absence of a social security system in Nigeria, with no functional national policy on the care and welfare of the vulnerable, especially the elderly. There are several Amarachi and there are several Suwebat. Who will not have the opportunity that I'll be driving past, and I'll take the decision to stop and hear their story. This is why I'm indeed happy that even all of us that are in this room, that have come to listen to an initiative called Sweepy, we all can make the difference. If we choose to, as the people, we all can make the difference. Sweepy is aimed at supporting orphanages, early care and other vulnerable groups in the States. The Social Welfare Integrated Program Initiative is an idea whose time has come. The social welfare system is the bedrock of any functional modern society. It provides a safety net for the most vulnerable members of our society. The First Lady of Lagos State, Dr. Ibi Jokesa-Wonlou believes that addressing the plight of the most vulnerable in society, could not have come at a better time than now. And most of us are going to grow old and retire, there must be something in place. So if we don't make noise now, we find ourselves in that situation. So we need to start talking now that policies need to be put in place, rules and regulations need to be put in place. Looking for the orphanages, we have quite a number of them roaming the streets, a lot of things are happening out there, and so policies need to be put in place. Enforcement also needs to be put in place. Dr. Ibi Jokesa-Wonlou is now to wear the cloak of the Grand Patron of Sweepy. From Lagos, Lafikuku Oyedokun, reporting for PLAS TV, Africa.
