In fulfilment of his promise to provide succour to residents of Kosofe, Ikosi-Isheri and Agboyi-Ketu whose communities were ravaged by flood last year, the Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District, Distinguished Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, FCA, has distributed 150 bags of 50kg rice to the affected constituents.
The affected communities where the rice was shared include Odo-Ogun, Ajegunle, Owode-Elede, Osho-Ogun, and Agboyi-town, all under Agboyi-Ketu LCDA. In Ikosi-Isheri LCDA, some affected residents residing in Agiliti 2, Maidan, Orisha/Isheri, Ajegunle/ Idera/ Kiokio, Isheri- North and Akinpelu communities received the rice.
Meanwhile, in Kosofe Local Government Area, residents of Oworo coastal area and Ogudu, Ojota, and Mende areas, who were adversely impacted by floods got the rice.
In ensuring that the bags of rice got to the affected persons, the office of the Senator, in alliance with the three Local Government Authorities, community and political leaders and the leadership of the Community Development Committee, CDC, collaborated to distribute the rice.
This humanitarian intervention is one of many kind gestures of Senator Abiru to his constituents, particularly vulnerable members of society. Every quarter, thousands of households across the 16 LGAs/ LCDAs in the Lagos East Senatorial District benefit from his quarterly Food Packs Programme.
