Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu today unveiled the state Women Economic Empowerment (WEE) Policy Roadmap, a milestone that reflects our firm commitment to gender equity and inclusive growth.
The roadmap, he said is a practical plan built around the lived experiences of women across Lagos, from entrepreneurs and farmers to students and professionals and focuses on removing the barriers that continue to limit women’s economic participation.
“We engaged widely in building this policy, listening to voices from the public and private sectors, NGOs, women’s groups, and women living with disabilities. Their insights helped us shape a roadmap that is grounded, inclusive, and realistic”.
“From agriculture and entrepreneurship to education, STEM, and the labour market, we’re setting out clear actions to empower women with tools, training, finance, and opportunities to thrive. We will work across all sectors to bring this to life and ensure every woman in Lagos has the opportunity to reach her full potential”.
