    He noted that the registration fee for boat owners is N10,000 while other relevant stakeholders and members such as fishermen and boat operators will pay N5,000 to join the Cooperative Society.

    While delivering a keynote lecture themed: “Cooperative as a way of Building Sustainable Wealth in Today’s World”, the Apapa Area Office Assistant Chief Registrar of Cooperative, Mrs Adebukola Ajiroba elucidated on the importance of savings and investments amongst members of the Cooperative society.

    Mrs. Ajiroba noted that the activities of the cooperative society is aimed at providing dividends, empowerment, food security and nutrition for members.

    The Chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT), WABOTAN Cooperative Society, Comrade Paul Ngwan enjoined all members to preach the benefits of the society to other boat operators and stakeholders at the various jetties in Lagos and beyond. He also urged them not only depend on the shares but pull resources together to ensure the society becomes very buoyant and profitable.
