The Commissioner expressed the belief that the programme would complement the efforts of the State Government at reducing poverty, empowering the residents by producing wealth creators who would continue to increase the economic prosperity of the State.

Arobieke maintained that LASG would put a structure in place to ensure that the beneficiaries do not only get the financial aid from the Federal government but invest the grant into profitable ventures that would safeguard return on investments.

She, therefore, pleaded with Lagosians to cooperate with the enumerators across the various Local Government Areas in the State by providing true and correct information to the officials.
