 The Lagos State Governor, Babachi Desong Olu, has put smiles on the faces of some vulnerable residents. 50 residents got aid from the state at the third edition of the Song Olu Lessons Initiative. The program was conducted by the Office of Civic Engagement as plus TV Africa correspondent Destiny Momo tells us. The scheme is designed to provide long-term financial assistance to vulnerable citizens in Lagos State. It is one of the social intervention programs implemented by the Lagos State Government to bring economic and humanitarian relief to residents. Governor Babachi Desong Olu is represented by the Secretary to the State Government for Lacha de Jaji. She says the state is concerned not only about economic well-being but also the health of the people. It's an initiative of Mr. Governor, Mr. Babachi Desong Olu, and it's been run through the Office of Civic Engagement. Make them to be self-employed rather than looking for jobs and they're able to make money and contribute to the economic growth of the state. Governor Song Olu's special advisor and the Office of Civic Engagement Adiremi Adebowale urges residents of Lagos to pay their taxes regularly so that this program will continue. I'm going to employ all Lagosians, all our citizens, to please try as much as possible if you are a blue-collar worker in the former sector, in the informal sector, if you are selling bolly on the street, if you are selling pure water, if you are in the markets, please pay to the Lagos State coffers so that you can continue to bring so-called to our vulnerable people's lives in Lagos State. Some beneficiaries are presented with checks while others receive other services like the renovation of their homes with falling roofs. Surprisingly, I'm here despite not being from Lagos State, though, resident in Lagos. I'm an Igbo person. I was listed as one of the beneficiaries. I think it's a great move. It's a positive move. It's a feel of governance where your governor actually feels for you and reach out to you. Great and happy because I didn't expect this. I put in my application last month precisely missed and within a month I'm able to be one of the beneficiaries. It's a great benefit for me. Government Lagos State, give me 500,000 today and by wish, automatic wish. What they gave me is mother money because they renovated my house and they furnished it for me. 50 people, including the physically challenged, the sick widows and parents of sick children, adolescents, drivers, and the aged are among the beneficiaries of the third addition of the program.
