In a bid to alleviate the financial burden on residents, Ojodu LCDA has again organised another subsidized food sales initiative, aptly named “1K Everything” offering residents essential food items at the highly affordable price of ₦1,000.
The food packages included 5kg of rice, 3kg of beans, 5kg of garri, large yam tubers, crates of eggs, 5kg of meat, whole chickens, 2.5 liters each of palm oil and groundnut oil, as well as 5kg of pepper, tomatoes, tatase, and onions.
This initiative is part of our council’s broader mission to alleviate the financial burden on residents, complementing other social welfare programs such as Free bus transportation and the “See A Doctor” medical programme, which provides free medical consultations and surgeries for people of Ojodu LCDA.
In partnership with “All Farmers Association” and local agribusinesses like “Fade Eleran”, a local butchery, the programme underscores Ojodu LCDA’s commitment to supporting local businesses and empowering youths.
Over 4,000 subsidized food items were sourced from local suppliers with special attention given to vulnerable groups such as People With Disabilities and Seniori Ctizens.
Held at the Council Secretariat Hall, the event attracted over 2,500 residents, all of whom took advantage of the affordable prices. This initiative further cements my dedication to improving the welfare and livelihood of Ojodu LCDA residents.
