The Coordinator of the Adeleke Grassroots Mobilization Alliance (AGMA) in Osun State, Raf Abdulazeez Oyinlola, gave the commendation while reacting to the laudable efforts of the SSG at putting smiles on the faces of the people at the Grassroots in the State.
Oyinlola said the Empowerment scheme which will allow 300 beneficiaries receive fifty thousand (50,000) Naira Cooperative Grants each will go a long way at improving the social economic life of the people of the State as those in business will use such funds to improve their means of livelihood.
The AGMA Coordinator called on politicians, well-to-do individuals, Captains of Industries, sons and daughters of Osun State both at home and in the diaspora to emulate the gesture of the SSG and impact the lives of others positively by giving back to the Society.
The Imole-Bibire Empowerment Programme will see 300 Beneficiaries – 20 each from the 15 Wards of Osogbo Local Government Area of Osun State receive 50,000 Naira each, totalling 15 Million Naira.
The gesture of the Osun SSG has no doubt, brought succor to the beneficiaries as it will serve as a means for them to improve on their businesses and also serve as start up capital to intended petty traders.
The efforts of the SSG is worth appreciating as it will serve as a propeller for him to do more and also serve as an eye opener for others to emulate and see the need for their immediate Community to feel their impact.
