The event was witnessed by party leaders and members across the district. According to her, the skills acquisition training would be in five areas namely; Leather work, Confessionary, Fashion Designing, Barbing and Hairdressing. “Our focus is to train 1000 constituent youths in Lagos-West to be proficient in the listed vocational skills before the end of 2024. On completion of the training, the beneficiaries will be supported with starter-packs to make their introduction to the league of employers of labour seamless,” she said.
Reeling out her activities so far, Senator Adebule stated that 10,000 food packs were distributed throughout the 28 councils as an intervention to cushion the effect of high cost of living for residents of the district.
She said: “I have also ensured continuous engagement with the grassroots through implementation of various social intervention programmes in support of our people at the grassroots. Some of the people centered interventions include: regular distribution of grains and other items, as well as cash gifts during major celebrations such as Christmas, Eid-ul-Adha, and others since December, 2022.
In each of these celebrations between 750 and 1000 bags of rice were distributed to constituents including party members, CDC/CDAs and other stakeholders across the Senatorial District.
“We have also supported our young and old farmers with about 300 bags of fertiliser in January in preparation for the planting season. Last November, I facilitated the training of 200 young people in fisheries at the Institute of Oceanography and Marine Research, Victoria Island and each participant was given starter capital of N100,000 as my contribution to integrate the young people of Lagos West into the new drive for the Marine and Blue Economy in Nigeria.”
