Abiru launches quarterly food packs programme, feeds 6,000 vulnerable
The Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District, Tokunbo Abiru, has launched a quarterly food packs programme targeted at vulnerable members of the district.
Six thousand vulnerable people who were widows, unemployed youth, aged, women and people living with disabilities across the 98 wards in the 16 local government areas and Local Council Development Areas (LCDA) benefited.
The food packs distribution exercise took place simultaneously in Ikorodu, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Somolu and Kosofe.
In his remarks, Abiru said the food packs programme was aimed at relieving the burden of the less privileged people, adding that he has been championing legislations, programmes and interventions that have lasting impacts on the larger number of the constituents.
The Senator assured the complete rehabilitation of the critical 32-Km Ikorodu-Itokin road.
It would be recalled that Abiru had earlier disbursed over N150 million in 24 months to over 2,500 vulnerable people of his constituency under his COVID-19 Financial Relief Scheme.
Speaking on behalf of the leadership of All Progressives Congress (APC) Ikorodu Division, Prince Jamiu Saka, said the party and the people of the senatorial district were proud of the Senator.
“Honesty, we are very proud of him, we have never had any doubts about his abilities. When you look at his antecedent, it is not by accident. He is always wanting to do more and more for the people. Whoever does good, shall always receive good things in return. We thank you very much, God bless you”, Prince Saka said in his goodwill message.
Some of the beneficiaries who expressed gratitude to Abiru include; Musbau Davis, a Person Living with Disability, Nofisat Adesanya, an aged, Biola Gabriel, a youth, Ogunyemi Abosede, a widow and Saidat Lawal, amongst many other elated beneficiaries .
