Combined data from both periods showed that a total of 58,226 ATM cards were supplied for the programme, while 49,203 beneficiaries successfully received their cards across the state during the review period.
Alimosho, Ikorodu, Kosofe, Agege, Badagry and Ifako-Ijaye recorded some of the highest numbers of distributed ATM cards during the exercise, reflecting strong participation across densely populated areas of the state.

The distribution exercise covered all 20 LGAs in Lagos State, including Ajeromi, Mushin, Surulere, Oshodi-Isolo, Lagos Mainland, Lagos Island, Ojo, Epe, Eti-Osa and Apapa.
The ATM cards were distributed under the Renewed Hope beneficiaries support framework aimed at improving access to financial support and social intervention programmes for residents across the state.
Officials involved in the exercise described the distribution as a major success, noting that the large number of beneficiaries reached across the LGAs reflected the scale of implementation achieved during the review period.
“This distribution exercise demonstrates the commitment to ensuring beneficiaries across Lagos State are captured and provided access to the programme seamlessly,” the report stated.
