The Chairman of Ojodu Local Council Development Area, David Odunmbaku, has distributed food palliatives to vulnerable households in the council area, including persons with disabilities.\n<\/p>\n
The distribution was held at the council secretariat on Thursday as part of efforts by the council to provide food support to residents affected by prevailing economic conditions.\n<\/p>\n
Speaking at the event, Odunmbaku said the exercise was intended to provide relief to households facing rising food prices and the increasing cost of essential commodities.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cToday\u2019s distribution of food palliatives is a deliberate intervention aimed at cushioning the effects of prevailing economic realities and providing much-needed relief to households grappling with the rising cost of food and other essential commodities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said the distribution was part of his administration\u2019s HEYS RELOADED Agenda, which covers Health, Education, Youth and Women Empowerment, and Social Infrastructure.<\/p>\n
The chairman said the council had implemented several welfare programmes since his administration began, including food subsidies and distributions targeted at vulnerable groups. <\/p>\n
Among the programmes he listed was a food bank subsidy initiative through which residents received food items such as rice, beans, garri, palm oil, groundnut oil, yam, tomatoes, eggs, onions, chicken and beef.<\/p>\n
He said the programme had recorded 2,500 beneficiaries.\n<\/p>\n
Odunmbaku also listed the distribution of food palliatives to persons with disabilities and security enforcement agencies among the council\u2019s interventions.\n<\/p>\n
Another initiative he cited was the Ojodu Food Bank Zero Hunger Initiative, which he said had 5,500 beneficiaries across the council\u2019s six wards.\n<\/p>\n
He did not disclose the number of households that benefited from Thursday\u2019s distribution.\n<\/p>\n
The chairman said the council would continue to provide support to residents through programmes targeting people affected by economic hardship.\n<\/p>\n
