Eko Hot Blog reports that, in a significant move to alleviate the impact of inflation on vulnerable households, the Aliko Dangote Foundation has donated 80,000 units of 10kg bags of rice to Lagos State.
This generous contribution is part of the Foundation’s initiative to provide one million bags of rice to families in need across Nigeria.
“Alhaji Aliko Dangote, joined by Mr. Femi Otedola and Fatimah Dangote, delivered the donation as part of the Foundation’s initiative to provide one million bags of rice to families in need across Nigeria,” stated Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on his official Facebook page. “This act of generosity by Alhaji Dangote reflects his compassion and his dedication to making a difference in the community.”
The governor emphasized that the rice donation will complement the state’s existing interventions to address food shortages caused by inflation and support its citizens during these challenging times. In addition to the rice distribution, Lagos State is preparing to distribute 100,000 combo boxes of food items to households free of charge.
Governor Sanwo-Olu called on other private organizations to follow suit and assist in the efforts to help those in need. “Together, with the support of the community, we will overcome these challenges and emerge stronger,” he said.
The Dangote Foundation’s contribution and the state’s relief efforts aim to provide much-needed support to vulnerable households grappling with the impacts of rising food prices and economic challenges.
