Over 200 residents of Lagos Mainland Federal Constituency have received business equipment through an empowerment programme facilitated by their representative, Mr Moshood Oshun. The beneficiaries, from different parts of the constituency, received income-generating assets including mini-buses, tricycles, sewing machines, and deep freezers.
The programme aimed to provide practical means of earning income, rather than one-off financial assistance. According to Punch, the equipment is expected to help recipients establish or expand businesses, with mini-buses and tricycles providing transportation opportunities and sewing machines and deep freezers supporting existing or new ventures.
Mr Oshun stated that effective representation involves addressing the economic realities confronting constituents, not just participating in legislative proceedings. He emphasized that lawmakers have a responsibility to listen to their constituents and use available resources to support them.
