A House of Representatives aspirant for Badagry, Mr. Mobolaji Ogunlende, stated this, yesterday while telling some members of his constituency about his plans to represent them.

He stated that for Nigeria to achieve its developmental goals, all hands must be on deck in bringing about giant strides and eschew personal interests that may mar development.

“I have empowered more than three hundred women that are into petty trading with a soft loan of ten thousand naira each across the three local councils of Olohunda, Badagry West, and Badagry Central. That’s how we empowered them.
