The Conference of Secretaries across the 20 local councils and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), Lagos State, has enjoined other state governors to emulate Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to make cheap food items available to their people through the Lagos Discount Food Market initiative tagged Ounje Eko.
The Chairman of the Conference, Akeem Olalekan Dauda, who disclosed this yesterday, through a statement, lauded Sanwo-Olu for putting the plight of the masses at heart by ensuring that the current food crisis is reduced drastically through the initiative.
Dauda, who is the Secretary to Ikeja Local Council, said the speedy and effective implementation of the programme, is aimed at making life easier for the people of the state at this critical period.
He said: “The briefing I received from the Ikeja Centre of the project – Tokunbo Alli Primary School, showed that the initiative is a welcome development that’ll ease off the pain of the pain of our people. The choice of the centre is due to the fact that it is central and more convenient for the people of Ikeja Central. If other states can emulate this step, the hunger across the country will be reduced to the barest minimum.”
