Beneficiaries were drawn from various segments of the community, including religious bodies, ward structures, Community Development Committees (CDCs), youth groups, students, online-nominated beneficiaries, and People Living With Disabilities, among others.
In his welcome address, the Coordinator of the East Consultative Forum (ECF), Epe Local Government, and Commissioner at the Lagos State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), Hon.

He urged constituents to sustain their support for the Senator, adding prayers for continued blessings upon him and his household.
The prayers were met with loud affirmations from attendees, many of whom attested to the Senator’s performance and reliability in meeting the needs of the people.
Before the commencement of the distribution, the modalities were clearly outlined by the ECF Coordinator for Eredo LCDA and former Executive Chairman, Hon. Omolaja Adelaja, alongside the ECF Coordinator for Ikosi-Ejinrin LCDA and former Executive Chairman, Hon. Samson Onanuga.
The exercise was carried out by key stakeholders including the ECF Captain for Epe Local Government, Hon. Alilu Gbenle; the Liaison Officer of Senator Abiru’s office in Epe, Hon. Maruf Odunare; Senior Special Assistant to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Hon.

Beneficiaries, including market men and women, students, and People Living With Disabilities, expressed deep appreciation to Senator Abiru for what they described as timely and inclusive support.
Many pledged continued loyalty and support, noting that the gesture once again demonstrated the Senator’s commitment to the wellbeing of his constituents.
