Ogun State has experienced a significant increase in the formation of Women Affinity Groups (WAGs) under the Nigeria for Women Programme Scale-Up (NFWP-SU), underscoring its commitment to promoting women’s economic empowerment and financial inclusion.
The State Project Coordinator, Bolanle Fadairo, along with the Project Procurement Officer and Secretary, emphasized this commitment during a review session held in Ijebu-Ode and Ado-Odo/Ota local government areas.
According to the media, the session focused on strengthening programme implementation and broadening the reach of its beneficiaries.
Addressing participants at the meetings, Fadairo, commended the collaborative efforts of the Local Field Supervisors and Women Affinity Group Supporting Officers.
She said, “Through the real time data monitor, 852 WAGs have been formed in Ijebu-Ode, while 777 groups have been established in Ado-Odo/Ota, these figures are a yielding result of the dedication of field officers and the growing acceptance of the world-bank sponsored programme among women.
“National statistics currently rank the State among the leading states in programme performance; therefore all hands must be on deck to maintain high standards.

“These review sessions were designed to assess progress, correct identified gaps in meeting procedures and record-keeping, and ensure strict adherence to operational guidelines.
“We are here to encourage facilitators to promote savings culture among members, ensure proper documentation, particularly passbook management and maximize the use of the programme’s toll-free line for support and feedback,” Fadairo remarked.
Highlighting the role of technology, the project coordinator added that real-time monitoring tools are being deployed to track enrollment and ensure efficiency, underscoring that compliance with established guidelines has positioned Ogun as a model state under the NFWP-SU framework.
In their individual remarks, the Local Field Supervisors for Ijebu-Ode and Ado-Odo/Ota, Omoju Olugbenga and Kayode Kikisagbe, respectively, commended the state government and the programme team for placing women’s economic empowerment at the forefront.
They also vowed to strengthen grassroots mobilization and maintain high-quality implementation to ensure the programme’s continued success across the participating local government areas.
