Ogun State Government has distributed the second batch of Rice to Muslim faithful in Sagamu Local Government Area to serve as palliative for the breaking of fast as part of measures to support them in the holy month of Ramadan.

The distribution exercise which took place during the Jumat service at Makun Central Mosque, Sagamu, was described as a "commendable act of giving" by the Chief Imam of the Mosque, Dr. Tajudeen Ashaye.

Dr. Ashaye, expressed surprises and commended Governor Abiodun’s administration for showing love and care to the needs of the people, regardless of their religious affiliation, noting that the Rice palliative would be an addition to whatever the beneficiaries had at home and would also help improve the living conditions of the vulnerable in the community.
