LASG Skills Up Parents of Out-of-School Children

Lagos State Ministry for Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation (WAPA) has successfully concluded the Life Skill Economic Empowerment Programme (LEEP).

This innovative initiative, held in collaboration with the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), aimed to equip parents of out-of-school children with essential skills and resources for economic independence.

Commissioner Bolaji Dada praised the participants for their enthusiasm and dedication, acknowledging the vital role of empowering women in achieving sustainable development.

“As we empower women with skills and resources, we are not only lifting individuals out of poverty but also transforming families,” she emphasized.
