Governor Makinde Distributes Palliatives to Alleviate Economic Hardship, Says FG’s N5bn Still Intact.

 In a remarkable display of compassion and commitment, Governor Engr Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has taken proactive steps to ease the burden of economic challenges faced by the citizens. In response to the recent fuel subsidy removal by the Federal government, Governor Makinde launched a food relief palliative distribution initiative aimed at supporting the most vulnerable residents of Oyo town.

The launch event, held at the prestigious Oba Lamidi Adeyemo 111 Mini Stadium in Oyo town, saw Governor Makinde kickstart the distribution of essential food items to households in need. Addressing the crowd, the Governor emphasized the importance of a comprehensive approach to tackling economic difficulties. He unveiled the Sustainable Action for Economic Recovery (SAFER) program, designed to address the root causes of financial struggles rather than merely addressing the symptoms.

Governor Makinde's administration has gained recognition for its transparent policies and unwavering integrity. Demonstrating a dedication to serving the people, the state government procured an impressive 37,000 bags of rice, complementing the 3,000 bags provided by the Federal government. This combined effort resulted in a generous total of 40,000 bags of rice, ready to be distributed to around 200,000 households across the state.

In addition to the substantial rice contribution, the Governor announced the inclusion of locally sourced food items. The distribution will feature 5kg bags of Gari, 5kg bags of beans, and 5kg bags of Yam flour (Elubo), ensuring a well-rounded assortment of essentials to address various dietary needs.

Governor Makinde's proactive response and commitment to alleviating the economic strain on his constituents exemplify effective governance and a strong sense of duty. As these palliatives reach the households they are intended for, they bring not only sustenance but also a glimmer of hope during challenging times.
