This morning while Omowunmi Ogungbaibi and I were walking out , we bumped into the “Ounje Arugbo” team at the pavilion giving out food packs to the elderly.
I approached them and they told me since the beginning of this administration that the First Lady had initiated the programme, the beneficiaries across the 16 local governments have been receiving food packs every month and the list of beneficiaries keeps increasing too.
Ok, for those who may not have heard about the programme before.
“Ounje Arugbo” is a food bank initiative of Her Excellency, Erelu Bisi Fayemi for the elderly across the State.
This is different from “Owo Arugbo ” which is monthly stipend for the elderly by the State Government.
This is the spot for distribution to beneficiaries in Ado Local Government every month. Food packs for other local governments have been sent .
I spoke with this mama (see video)in Ekiti dialect and she said she comes here every month to pick her food pack.
