Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has said that the state government will consider collaborating with Kebbi state to explore Rice production and distribution.
Ambode said this during the closing ceremony of the 2015 Annual National Women Conference, organised by the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO).
He explained that Kebbi state governor, Alhaji Atiku Bagudu, during the opening ceremony of the conference highlighted the co-operation between women in Lagos and women in Kebbi to produce high quality rice for consumption.
Ambode said “I am sure the leadership of COWLSO has taken note of this and would work towards creating the platform for this cooperation to work and further show the economic relevance of women”.
“I am sure the communiqué that has emerged at this conference will encapsulate a blueprint for the economic engagement of our womenfolk, not just in Lagos State but across Nigeria.
“This conference marks a new beginning for COWLSO. We will remain partners in progress and also welcome your constructive criticisms to help us improve in our duty to deliver good governance to the people of Lagos State. This administration counts on your usual support and co-operation.”
