The career of veteran actress, Lanre Hassan, aka Iya Awero, witnessed a breakthrough on Wednesday as the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, gifted her a three-bedroom flat.
The governor has been active in such interventions as he also recently intervened in the health challenges of veteran actor, Yinka Ogundaisi.
The Commissioner for Information, Mr Gbenga Omotoso, revealed the uplift of Iya Awero in a news flash thus:
“Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu today presented a gift of 3-bedroom flat at the newly commissioned Prince Abiodun Ogunleye Housing Scheme to a Nollywood veteran, Mrs Lanre Hassan Adesina Aka IYA AWERO, to cater for her urgent housing need.”
In a video shared by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Gboyega Akosile, Sanwo-Olu noted that it was important to celebrate an icon like Iya Awero while she was still alive, instead of waiting for her to die before doing so.
