*COMMISSIONER DONATES RELIEF MATERIALS TO 3 LGS IN OGUN EAST *

In continuation of supporting Ogun State government with relief
materials to cushion the effects of the lockdown order, the Commissioner
for Finance and Chief Economic Adviser to the Governor, Mr. Dapo Okubadejo
has handed over 150 bags of 50kg Rice, 20 cartons of 240 bottles of Hand
sanitizers, 20 bags of 100kg Beans, 60 Big bags of *Garri* and three cows
to Ijebu-Ode, Odogbolu and Ijebu North East Local Government Areas of the
State for onward distribution to indigents in the areas.

Handing over the relief materials at the secretariat of Ijebu Ode
Local Government, the Commissioner said the relief materials were parts of
his contribution to the State Government’s efforts in containing the spread
of Covid 19 in the State.

“It is our collective responsibility to help and support the
government in its fight against coronavirus by keeping distance in social
gathering, washing our hands frequently, avoid touching eyes, nose and
mouth and also practicing respiratory hygiene. More importantly, this is
the right time for all well-meaning Nigerians to support the poor and
vulnerable people in the society”, he noted.

He said Dapo Abiodun led administration was committed to the
overall well-being of the people by providing relief materials across the
20 local government areas of the State, fumigation of public places and
provision of handsanitizers.

In his response, Chairman of Ijebu Ode Local Government, Engr.
Olugbenga Olugbile, appreciated the donor for the kind gesture, saying the
relief materials would be judiciously deployed to the less privileged,
aged, poor and other vulnerable in the area.

Also speaking, the Chairman of Ijebu North East Local Government,
Mr. Segun Odunola, urged the people to be orderly, calm, and patience with
the officials of the State and Local Governments, saying the relief package
would go a long way to support the needy and aged.

While commending the State government and Mr. Dapo Okubadejo for
the prompt response, Mrs. Rukayat Ogunsanwo called on other well-meaning
indigenes of the Local Governments to emulate the humanitarian gesture of
the donors, noting that with kind- hearted spirit and love, covid-19 would
be a thing of the past.
