launching the 16th iteration of the monthly food distribution program for the most disadvantaged citizens
While kicking off the 16th edition of the monthly distribution of food support scheme for the state’s most disadvantaged citizens in Osogbo, he made this declaration.
Oyetola reaffirmed his dedication to seeing that the plan is maintained for as long as he is the state’s governor.
He said that since the program’s launch in April of last year, 500,000 households, disadvantaged residents, and their dependents had benefited.
Oyetola said his administration is firmly dedicated to guaranteeing the continuation of the program while being represented at the delivery of food for 30,000 households by State Government Secretary Prince Wole Oyebamiji.
Governor Oyetola emphasized the administration’s commitment to revolutionizing the economy, noting that there are records that can be independently verified attesting to the fact that the administration has irrevocably contributed to the establishment and sustainability of good governance across all spheres of the economy and human endeavor.
He insisted that the election results in no way served to deter the administration because the initiative’s implementation was in keeping with the campaign pledge to give citizens meaningful and valuable lives.
“Election or no election can’t hinder the continuity of this programme and many others and the effect of the commitment is what you are seeing today.
“As of today, we are still in a government and as long as we are in government, we shall continue to champion the cause of the masses of our people in line with the mandate. We must among other things ensure their welfare and security.
“We are in government and we shall continue to provide this welfare scheme. We have impacted about half a million households directly since the commencement. We are aware that agriculture is the mainstay of our economy. That is why we have been encouraging our youths to participate in agriculture and go back to the farm.
“We have a responsibility to encourage them to do so. And those that are participating in the supply of this month’s food items are more than 24 groups of young, dynamic and hardworking local entrepreneurs,” he added.
