The Lagos State Government says the disbursement of the promised N750m Lagos Trader Money to 15,000 traders across the 20 local government areas and 37 local council development areas in the state will commence this month.

The Commissioner for Agriculture, Ms Abisola Olusanya, stated this at the weekend while fielding questions during the Lagos Food Systems’ Champions Sensitisation for Market Women at the Mid-level Agro-Produce Hub in Idi-Oro, Mushin.

Olusanya further stated that the state government will create more food hubs across the state to generate more employment opportunities for residents, especially women.

She added that creating more food hubs would help empower small farms to take advantage of growing opportunities in the agricultural sector.
