He disclosed that about ₦3 billion came from the World Bank and ₦2 billion from the state, with over 55,000 women empowered so far across Ogun State.


The governor noted that the initiatives have strengthened financial inclusion, leadership capacity, and household resilience, while also highlighting the impact of OGCARES and OGSTEP in post-COVID recovery, skills development, agriculture, and land reforms.
