Adelabu Doles Out 10,000 Bags of Rice to Oyo Residents

The Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, distributed over 10,000 bags of rice to residents of Oyo State on Saturday.

The food palliative, according to him, was part of the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s federal government-led administration.

Beneficiaries of the parliative include the Muslim Community, Christian Associations of Nigeria (CAN), Oyo State Chapter,  Penticostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), NASFAT, Tijaniyah, Mogaji’s in Ibadanland, Market Association, All Radio Stations in Oyo State, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Oyo State Chapter, Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Nigeria Union of Teachers, Oyo State Council, TAMPAN, National Youth Council, CIVECU, professional bodies, and students, among others.

Speaking in Ibadan while handling the rice for people, Adelabu stated that the rice was from Tinubu to alleviate the suffering of people and improve their standard of living.

He said President Tinubu is aware of the suffering of Nigerians and has assured them that the hardship is temporary, saying Nigerians will continue to enjoy the dividends of his administration.

He said, “President Tinubu has decided to give us our own share in Oyo State; the parliative has no political colourarion but is in furtherance of good governance.

“We will ensure the distribution is transparent and cut across every religious association, traditional association, ethnic association, and resident of the state; that is why we decided to make it open.

“I want to urge people to continue to support the Tinubu administration. All we need from you is your continued prayers for God to guide us and ensure we take you to your desired destination.

“This is phase one of the food security as part of the renewed hope agenda of Tinubu; we shall be witnessing the distribution regularly, and as far as we get this thing from Abuja, we shall not hoard it but distribute it.”
