According to him, the Nigeria for Women Project, implemented through Women Affinity Groups (WAGs), has significantly transformed the socio-economic lives of women across the state.
“About N3 billion was disbursed under the World Bank-supported initiative, while the Ogun State Government complemented it with another N2 billion.
“We are also on the verge of constructing mini-grids across Ogun State to meet our growing energy needs,” Abiodun said.
Speaking earlier, the World Bank Group Vice President, Ms. Galina Vincelette, reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to supporting Ogun State and Nigeria in addressing key development challenges.
“Nigeria currently has a $17 billion World Bank portfolio, one of the largest globally, and our support remains strong,” Verghis said.
