Speaking at an interactive session with N-Power volunteers in the Shomolu Local Government Area, Diya pointed out that the volunteers had contributed to efficient service delivery at all federal, state and local government institutions.
He said, “For example in the Shomolu and Bariga areas of Lagos, the N-Power volunteers have been part of transfer of knowledge in schools, tax collection and production of food through the N-Agro section of the scheme.
“I appeal to state governments to give the volunteers employment or empowerment grants.”
The lawmaker said the theme of the session, ‘Challenges and Prospects of N-Power Volunteers,’ was chosen to convince stakeholders that the volunteers could contribute better to the society if employed or empowered.
