Lagos State First Lady Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu has extended the state’s elderly support initiative to the Badagry Local Government Area, providing direct assistance to senior citizens in the region.
During the visit, the First Lady distributed financial aid and essential food items to the elderly residents, marking a significant expansion of the welfare programme beyond its previous operational areas.
The intervention forms part of broader efforts to support vulnerable groups within Lagos State, ensuring that senior citizens in outlying local government areas receive the same level of care and resources as those in central districts.
By bringing the support programme to Badagry, the initiative aims to address the specific needs of the aging population in the area, offering both immediate relief through food supplies and ongoing financial support.
This move highlights the state government's commitment to inclusive social welfare policies, targeting those who may have limited access to other forms of social support or economic resources.
