“The state is already in the second phase of the Sustainable Action for Economic Recovery (SAfER), which the governor of the state has put together to alleviate poverty and improve the welfare of the residents. This is part of the strategic partnership the state is forming with the private sector.

“This initiative will cut across socially disadvantaged groups in the state, from the physically challenged to the vulnerable groups and the elderly.

“We are expecting about 30,000 beneficiaries, and we are going to ensure it touches all the local government areas in the state.”

Earlier, the Head of Operations, Aliko Dangote Foundation, Lagos, Mr. Edero Victor Ejiro, said the initiative to distribute one million bags of 10kg rice to the vulnerable, widows, underprivileged and people going through hardship across the country, started in 2024.

He commended Governor Makinde’s administration for supporting the poorest of the poor, the needy, and the vulnerable in the state, stressing that the Aliko Dangote Foundation would complement the efforts through donations of food materials for nutritional and economic empowerment.

He urged the beneficiaries to share with people around them, saying: “I am here to present 30,000 bags of 10kg rice to Oyo State.
