Under Governor Sanwo-Olu&#8217;s leadership, the Lagos State Government has made significant strides in social protection, including the delivery of N130 billion in social protection support to over 18.5 million Lagosians through coordinated interventions.<\/p>\n<p>The NSR, which has become one of the world&#8217;s largest social protection databases, has been instrumental in the state&#8217;s social protection efforts. With over 19 million heads of households and individual members captured, the NSR has been transformed into a more reliable and inclusive system through the recent integration of National Identification Number (NIN).<\/p>\n<p>The government has also implemented initiatives like the OUNJE EKO food subsidy program, which has enhanced access to affordable, nutritious food for low-income households. The state has decentralized governance through local committees, creating a unified, grassroots approach to addressing critical issues like food insecurity and malnutrition.<\/p>\n<p>The Champion of Care Award is a well-deserved recognition of Governor Sanwo-Olu&#8217;s commitment to social protection and his vision for a more inclusive and compassionate society. The Lagos State Government remains dedicated to advancing social protection programs and improving the lives of its citizens, particularly the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;As LASG Reiterates Commitment To Advancing Intrests Of Vulnerable in Society, Through National Social Register The Lagos State Government, under<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17316,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-from-the-grassroots"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17314"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17315,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17314\/revisions\/17315"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
