He said the objective of the Scheme is to ensure food security and safe functioning of food supply chains for poor household.

The Special Adviser noted that the water pump machines could be used to pump water from the water body to wet their crops such as rice and vegetables during this dry season to generate income. He appealed to arable crops farmers to exercise patience as the hybrid maize and rice seeds/cassava stems already procured will not be distributed now until the onset of the rainy season in 2023.

He advised the farmers to be security conscious while working on their farms noting that, they should raise alarm and inform the security agents whenever they notice any strange face and movement.

Mr. Boluwade however called on the traditional rulers to collaborate with the state government and other security agents to guide their subjects, especially farmers jealously.

As the Christmas celebration holds today nationwide and worldwide among christians across the globe, a vibrant Socio-Cultural and Political  Group Omoluabi Team Alliance recognizes the sincerity in the death of Jesus Christ who was noted for his exemplary service to God and humanity even at a tender age. His service to mankind which included preaching the good news, show of love, offering salvation at no cost and reassuring christian faithfuls of eternal life are lessons to learn from a man who gave his all for the birth of a faith. 

The group through his Acting National Secretary. Alex Akinfolarin admonished Christians in the country to offer genuine prayers on behalf of Nigerians who are passing through unpalatable economic situations at the moment. 

The group also reminded Nigerians to keep hope alive as better moments is foreseen since tough times never last but tough people will definitely overcome. Political leaders are however expected to serve the people like Jesus Christ who was said to have showed biblical  examples that are worthy of emulation as a servant leader he was.

The group generally appreciate Nigerians for showing understanding and tolerance in the face of hard times and prayed that leaders who are passionate about the welfare of the people will definitely emerge if the people are so determined to achieve such feat over undeserving political gladiators who are enemies of the masses come 2023.

Christians in the southwest are advised to thread the path of an ideal Omoluabi properly-born and pray that such virtue never depart from them henceforth. The churches in Nigeria are however encouraged to remember other christians in countries like Ukraine and other war zones around the globe that have been thrown into pandemonium till date as they also deserve to be shown love at this moment.

I felicitate Christians in Ekiti, Nigeria and across the world celebrating Christmas this year.

Usually, this period is dedicated to re-uniting with loved ones, eating, drinking, sharing gifts and having fun and I am grateful that these norms, regardless of circumstances across the country remain evident during this period.

I must assert here, that either in the midst of plenty or otherwise, we all have something to reflect on and celebrate this Christmas. The gift of life, men and hope is sufficient enough to keep us all going and we must never be unmindful of that reality.

I therefore, commend each and every one of us to moderately celebrate this season and more importantly show love, re-ignite hope and together, pray for better times in Nigeria.
