Yesterday, I rounded off a four-day food distribution programme where we gave out packs of rice to households in 14 different villages and farmsteads in Ado Ekiti.
The food distribution to the farmsteads is our way of empathizing with the people in the difficult-to- reach areas, over the current economic situation and putting a little smile on their faces during this Sallah period.
The localities touched included Ugbogun Esunmo, Aso Ayegunle, Ago Aduloju, Ika, Ilokun, Irasa, Uso, Igbaye, Oke Aso, Odo, Ujemu, Igbo Aso, Aaye, Aba Iya Medi Temidire, among others. The distribution exercise started on Thursday and was concluded on Sunday.
I am grateful to my team of dedicated staff and aides led by Mrs Toyin Adepoju for their thoroughness. I also appreciate the prayers and support of our people for me, my husband and the BAO administration.
