The festive season is here again. Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, FCA, in line with tradition has reached to over 12,000 families across Lagos East Senatorial District, with food packs for them to truly have a merry festive celebrations. In total, a whopping 84,000 households had so far benefited from the scheme from inception till day.

The food packs contain essential staples such as rice and garri, which were  distributed across all 16 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the district, bringing  relief to thousands of households, many of whom described the support as timely and impactful. The programme targeted the most vulnerable members of the society, including, elderly, widows, persons living with disabilities, women and unemployed youths.

Each food pack, branded with the Renewed Hope of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and Senator Abiru’s #DoingGood, underscored  the alignment of the Senator with the far-reaching policy direction of President Tinubu’s agenda on food security, social protection and inclusive welfare.
To further ensure  fairness and transparency, beneficiaries were equally selected through a community-driven process.

Residents across Lagos East submitted nominations via an online platform, recommending vulnerable individuals and families within their neighbourhoods. These nominations were randomly shortlisted and beneficiaries emerged cutting across all the 16 LGAs and LCDAs in Lagos East.

For many beneficiaries, the initiative went beyond food support, it was a reaffirmation of responsive leadership and compassion-driven representation of Senator Abiru that has continued to touch lives across Lagos East.

In addition to food packs, cows were also distributed  to certain traditional rulers, party leaders to support festive celebrations.
