The Lagos State Government in partnership with the National Agency of the Control of AIDS (NACA) has empowered 180 vulnerable indigents, and Persons Living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) in Lagos communities with various economic skills.
The beneficiaries were trained for three days on sewing, bricklaying, painting, baking, cooking, and arts among others.
The state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who described the skills as wealth creation, noted that “these are skills that can take us out of poverty. As you return, start practising a trade.
“Now that you are empowered, it will keep you off the streets, and help you contribute to the productivity of the economy of the nation”.
