The Ojodu Local Development area through its food bank on Wednesday sold food items to residents in Ojodu at discounted prices during the food relief progamme.
Following this residents and community stakeholders in the LCDA have expressed their appreciation to the Segun Odunmbaku-led administration as they became beneficiaries of the progamme tagged “Zero Hunger”.
The food relief progamme which was oversubscribed and patronized by residents in the council secretariat witnessed people from all walks of life take advantage of the subsidized prices of the commodities to purchase food products that was sold as part of the Segun Odunmbaku administration’s initiatives to ameliorate the socioeconomic conditions of the Ojodu people.
Hon. Segun Odunmbaku in his speech delivered by the SLG, Hon. Olaide John Bello said “the event was borne out of the need to contribute our quota as a responsive government towards ensuring the food security of the good people of Ojodu LCDA”
“It is our aim to reach out to all citizens in Ojodu LCDA through the provisions of these discounted food items and other palliatives that would serve as succor particularly at this critical time of economic constraints and turbulence”
“Please accept the assurance of our commitment at making this excercise a recurrent one with the aim of uplifting the lives of the citizens and we shall not renege on our promises to put the citizens first as we make our LCDA a model and point of reference amongst others”

Wale Larinde and Director, Agricultural And Community Development, Mr Lekan Otukoya said that the event would become a recurrent feature of the administration.
