Wike donates N300m to Lagos State officials’ wives

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has donated the sum of N300 million to the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials, COWLSO.

Wike announced the donation at the ongoing 22nd National Women’s Conference (NWC) holding in Lagos.

This is coming on the backdrop of recent devastating flood that has ravaged some communities in the state, with thousands homeless, and without food.

In an address at the occasion, Wike said the involvement of women in politics and decision-making in Lagos State is what is making it continue to set the pace in the country.

He said he was amazed at all that COWLSO is doing in Lagos State and promised to replicate all that he had learnt from the conference in his State as well.

Governor Wike also used the opportunity to declare total support for the re-election bid of Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in the 2023 general elections.
