Epe LGA Boosts Resident Welfare with Social Programmes

Hon. Princess Surah Animashaun, Executive Chairman of Epe Local Government, has launched a plethora of innovative welfare programmes that have brought joy and succour to the residents of Epe.

These initiatives aim to improve lives, provide a safety net for the vulnerable, and foster a sense of community.

During a recent press briefing, Animashaun showcased her administration’s remarkable achievements, highlighting the Epe Food Bank Initiative, which provides quarterly food supplies to over 5,000 low-income households, and the healthcare outreach programme, offering free medical services, screenings, and treatments to rural communities.

Empowerment schemes for residents have also been a focus, with skills training and entrepreneurship support provided to women, men, and young people, enabling them to become economically independent.

“Our goal is to break the cycle of poverty and enhance the overall well-being of our residents,” Animashaun explained.
