| Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, “deploys intervention to lessen burden of Lagosians amid economic hardship” |
He announced the LASG has “deployed various interventions designed to lessen the burden of Lagosians amid the economic hardship”.
According to Governor Sanwo-Olu: “Today, we deployed various interventions designed to lessen the burden of Lagosians amid the economic hardship.
“The interventions – in transportation, education, health and agriculture – are under the umbrella of EKO CARES.
“For six weeks, we have been running the Ounje Eko Sunday market featuring the reduction of food by 25% and it has been a huge success. The Sunday Markets have helped to ensure that people can get food items at highly subsidised rates.
“To drive all these initiatives, we set up a non-partisan Special Dispensation Advisory Council of eminent Nigerians, including rights activists, religious leaders, a youth representative, and opposition party chieftains.
“Today, in furtherance of our objectives, we gave out 500,000 boxes of food stuff for free to LGAs and LCDAs. This is to strengthen food security in our state as feeding the vulnerable is our duty of care.
“It is important that no Lagosian goes to bed hungry. That is our goal.”
HC: This palliative and hand-to-mouth kind of feeding in Lagos State, that claims to be a “megacity”, please, when will it end? So, if the LASG don’t hand out food, then Lagosians will definitely go hungry! Nawa o!! *e taya me meeehhhnnn*
