The Aliko Dangote Foundation has flagged off the distribution of 10,000 bags of rice, weighing 10 kilogrames, to vulnerable households, people with disabilities and the less privileged in Bayelsa State.
The deputy governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, who represented the governor, Senator Douye Diri, at the event, commended Aliko Dangote for his philanthropic gesture and flourishing partnership with the state government in agriculture by accepting to be the off-taker of the rice being cultivated in the state.

He said, “The Bayelsa State government has a very lucrative and viable relationship with the Dangote Group; we want to thank Alhaji Aliko Dangote for the relationship he established with us.

“We want to thank Dangote for being an offtaker for our rice production. We are also looking forward to the issue of building a mill by the farm clusters and settlements.

“We commend Dangote for conquering greed through his philanthropic virtues in the past 30 years. I want to urge us to emulate his acts of giving.”

Speaking during a distribution exercise, the head of Operations, Aliko Dangote Foundation, Edero Ejiro, said the initiative is part of the foundation’s annual National Food Intervention Project, which aims to support over one million disadvantaged Nigerians nationwide.

Our target beneficiaries are market women, the vulnerable, physically challenged people, widows and artisans.”
