He said the initiative was part of governor Ademola Adeleke ‘s efforts in bringing smiles to the faces of masses, aimed at supporting Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan with ease.

This incentives , according to them, has been assisting families, especially the needy and vulnerable, during this important last ten days of Ramadan.
” We appreciate the chairman ‘s continue commitment to the well-being of his people and ask other appointees to borrow a leaf from Oluwadare ‘s plantrophism” by extending the heath of kindness to others.
