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.
