During the Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association Annual conference, she also granted requests from the principals which includes provision of water, construction of toilets, connection of electricity and drilling of boreholes.
In regard to the protest on the ban on charcoal and sand harvesting, she promised to provide those demonstrating with alternative means of earning livelihoods, other than engaging in activities which degrade the environment.

Ngilu finally revealed that the county government had partnered with National Industrial Training Institute (NITA) to train youths in various skills like shoemaking, dressmaking, tailoring, masonry, welding and leather works.
