HON. JOHNSON AKOHOMEH AVOSEH PARTICIPATES IN NIGERIA FOR WOMEN PROGRAM SCALE-UP PROJECT (NFWP-SU) STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The Executive Chairman of Ipokia Local Government, Hon. Johnson Akohomeh Avoseh, participated in the stakeholder engagement programme organized by the Ogun State Project Coordinating Unit of the Nigeria for Women Program Scale-Up Project (NFWP-SU), a transformative initiative jointly supported by the Ogun State Government, the Federal Government of Nigeria, and the World Bank.
The engagement, which brought together beneficiaries, traditional rulers, community stakeholders, women groups, and development partners, focused on strengthening platforms for women's economic empowerment and improving livelihood opportunities across communities in Ogun State.
The NFWP-SU is a five-year intervention programme designed to institutionalize Women Affinity Groups and other community-based structures that promote financial inclusion, economic participation, and sustainable development for women, particularly those who are underserved by conventional financial systems.
Participants were sensitized on the objectives, implementation strategies, and expected impact of the programme. Discussions highlighted the importance of empowering women as critical contributors to economic growth, poverty reduction, and sustainable community development.
Stakeholders at the event expressed appreciation and excitement regarding the opportunities created through the programme, while emphasizing the need for collaboration among government institutions, traditional authorities, community leaders, and beneficiaries to ensure its successful implementation.
The chairman commended the unwavering commitment of His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON, Governor of Ogun State, for continually championing policies and programmes that promote economic inclusion, social development, and the empowerment of women across the state.
He also applauded the administration of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the Renewed Hope Agenda, which continues to prioritize initiatives aimed at poverty reduction, economic empowerment, and improving the welfare of Nigerians through strategic interventions and partnerships.
The participation of Ipokia Local Government in the engagement reflects the administration's commitment to supporting programmes and policies that promote inclusive economic growth, women empowerment, and sustainable grassroots development.
The engagement further reaffirmed the commitment of the Ogun State Government, the Federal Government, and the World Bank to improving the socio-economic wellbeing of women through strategic interventions that strengthen local communities, enhance livelihoods, and create lasting opportunities for future generations.
Signed,
Media and Public Engagement
