The Chairman of Yaba Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Dr. Bayo Adefuye, has kicked off the distribution of food items under the ‘Ounje Tuntun’ programme, an initiative in alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The exercise, he said, was a direct response to the economic realities and a demonstration of government’s responsibility to cushion the effects of these challenges. Through this programme, staple food items are being distributed to households across Yaba LCDA, ensuring that families, particularly the vulnerable and less privileged, have access to essential nutrition.
Adefuye applauded President Tinubu for his visionary leadership and bold reforms aimed at repositioning the economy.
He highlighted the president’s achievements, including the removal of fuel subsidy with palliative measures to support citizens, the unification of the foreign exchange market to stabilize the economy, increased investments in agriculture to enhance food security, and massive infrastructural development projects across the nation. ”Today, we are not only distributing food; we are rekindling hope. This initiative is a testimony that our government listens, cares, and acts in the best interest of its people. President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is already yielding results, and here in Yaba LCDA, we are complementing his efforts by ensuring that the dividends of democracy reach every household,’ he said.
He assured residents that beyond the immediate relief, the council will continue to prioritize programmes and projects that promote sustainable development, empower youths, support women, and improve the quality of life of all residents.
A beneficiary in the community, Tope Adeoye, commended the council, stating that ‘It’s a laudable programme.’
