    In a strategic move to uplift the livelihood and welfare of Nigerian women and children, the Minister of Women Affairs, Barr. Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, has
    announced the distribution of over 357 sustainable empowerment machines across 15 states, including the Federal Capital Territory.

    According to the statement signed by the Media Aide to Minister of Women Affairs, Musa Abdulrahamana, reaching Vanguard on Wednesday, she said this during a courtesy visit to the Governor of Lagos State, H.E. Babajide Sanwo-Olu at Marina House, Lagos state.

    During the visit, Barr. Ohanenye commended Governor Sanwo-Olu for his unwavering support for women’s empowerment in Lagos State.

    She highlighted his gender-friendly policies, infrastructure, and programs as crucial factors in the state’s and nation’s development.

    Recognizing Lagos State as Nigeria’s economic hub and most populous region, with a significant number of industrious women, the Ministry prioritized its inclusion among the first 15 states to receive these machines.

    Among the machines distributed to Lagos State were 24 industrial economic machines for food production, specifically Garri processing and cassava processing machines. These machines, when combined, form a complete six-component system, including cassava heavy grinding machines, cassava industrial sieving machines, Garri sieving and drying machines, and Garri industrial frying machines.

    Barr. Ohanenye also sought partnership with the Lagos State government to support women and children in areas such as justice (mobile courts), agriculture (livestock and farming), health, and education.
