Addressing participants, Igbasan said the organisation remains committed to improving the lives of members through practical interventions that support families and encourage economic self-reliance.
He disclosed that three lactating mothers received grants of ₦200,000 each as part of efforts to support maternal welfare and family development.
In addition, every woman who attended the event received ₦50,000 cash support to assist with their personal and business needs.
The Director General also announced the disbursement of ₦2 million among men present at the ceremony as part of the organisation’s broader empowerment programme.
According to him, empowering party members economically remains one of the effective ways to strengthen grassroots participation and promote sustainable community development.
Igbasan explained that the intervention aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which places emphasis on economic inclusion and citizen empowerment.
He assured members that the empowerment programme would not end in Lagos, adding that similar initiatives would be extended to other chapters across the country and the West African region.
Beneficiaries expressed appreciation to the leadership of the organisation, describing the intervention as timely amid prevailing economic challenges.
