Sanwo-Olu’s price subsidy gets kudos
Non-governmental organisation, Kehinde Oshilaja Foundation, catering for people living with disabilities, has hailed Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for cutting prices of food through “Ounje Eko” discounted markets.
The foundation spoke yesterday at the annual presentation of Zakat and food items to members, in Ebute-Meta, Lagos.
Coordinator, Kehinde Oshilaja, thanked the government for the initiative, which he described as commendable.
He said: “I appreciate Sanwo-Olu for subsidising food items in Lagos State and opening consumer shops in 20 local governments and 37 local council development areas. This is a laudable feat. Posterity will remember Sanwo-Olu as a great administrator.”
Oshilaja noted similar steps were taken during the late Governor Lateef Jakande administration, which also assisted the people in cushioning effects of inflation in Lagos State.
The foundation appealed to the Federal Government to see to the plight of people living with disabilities as well as the elderly.
It advised the government to fashion out ways of reaching them.
The foundation thanked the financiers of this year’s Zakat and presentation of food items to members. They include Hon. Tunji Bello, Alhaji Rahim Sanni, Alhaji Toyin Usman, Hon. Sheu Isola, among others.
