The Food Distribution program of the Renewed Hope Initiative under its Social Investment program is a monthly intervention strategy targeting the vulnerable groups in society.
The program, supported by a well-meaning industrialist, has provided assorted food items in a number of states across the nation.
Making the distribution at the Government House, Ado Ekiti, the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu informed the public that the RHI, in line with the objectives of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, is working towards meeting the needs of the people.
Represented by the wife of the Vice President, Hajiya Nana Shettima, told the gathering the program was launched in FCT Abuja and has covered some states already, impacting on the lives of people with disabilities, women, and the youth.
Hajiya Nana Shettima implores the beneficiaries not to divert the items to the market but to use them in their household.
The wife of the Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Olayemi Oyebanji, while appreciating Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s support to the state in the areas of agriculture where farmers received farming implements, women empowerment, and scholarships for the youths, said the food intervention is timely. It will go a long way in helping the beneficiaries, considering their vulnerable nature.
There was a symbolic presentation and a traditional dance as the high point of the event.
