The Kwara State Social Investment Programmes (KWASSIP) has concluded preparations to add public workfare to its activities, deepening its statutory efforts to reduce poverty while engaging beneficiaries in community service areas.

Ag. General Manager of the agency, Abdulquawiy Olododo, said in a statement on Wednesday that public workfare has been added as a way of getting more youths involved in the agency’s activities in yet another productive manner.

“As part of our mandate to alleviate poverty among the vulnerable people in the state, we have introduced ‘Public Workfare programme’ by engaging people that will be deployed to areas within the state capital for cleaning, clearing of dumpsites, clearing of bushes, and ensuring that the state is always clean,” the statement said
