The atmosphere across Kosofe, Ikosi-Isheri, and Agboyi-Ketu was charged with hope and renewed optimism as residents gathered for the Mega Empowerment Programme convened by Hon. Kafilat Adetola Ogbara. The programme, which brought together thousands of beneficiaries, stood as a powerful testament to people-focused leadership and the growing momentum of grassroots development in Lagos State.
At the heart of the initiative was Hon. Kafilat Adetola Ogbara’s unwavering belief that true development begins with empowering people at the grassroots. The Mega Empowerment Programme was thoughtfully designed to address real, everyday needs, supporting traders, artisans, youths, and women with tools, equipment, and resources to strengthen their economic independence. For many beneficiaries, it marked a turning point: an opportunity to expand small businesses, acquire new skills, or finally gain the push needed to become self-reliant.
The importance of the Mega Empowerment Programme cannot be overstated. In a time when economic pressures weigh heavily on households, such interventions provide immediate relief while laying the foundation for long-term growth. By equipping residents with the means to earn, produce, and contribute meaningfully to the local economy, the programme helps build resilient communities capable of driving their own development.
