Some of the food items included 25 bags of 10kg rice, cartons of spaghetti, cartons of Indomie, detergents, bags of Semovita, sweets and cash.

At the Olufolake Safe Haven Orphanage, Dr Oluwatoyin Alabi, one of the sponsors of the Greater Kwara Foundation, assured the beneficiaries of sustained support from President Tinubu.

“We are here on behalf of President Bola Tinubu to show that his heart is with you and all the underprivileged,” he said.

“The foundation brought assorted food items and toiletries with cash to support the feeding, comfort and well-being of our children here and in other places.

“Throughout the year, this support will continue across the nooks and crannies of this state,” Alabi said.

Responding, the director of Women Affairs, Mrs Idris Modinat, on behalf of the commissioner for Women Affairs, Mrs Folashade Oluwakemi, commended the foundation for its kind gesture.

She said the initiative is in tandem with Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq social welfare agenda.

The officer in charge at the Children’s Reception Centre, Ministry of Social Development, , Jaiyeola Olawumi, commended the intervention programme of the foundation.

She described it as timely, given the rising welfare demands of the centre.
