Yesterday, in a momentous occasion witnessed by Olusesan Daini, the Executive Chairman of Igbogbo/Baiyeku LCDA, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu unveiled the EKO CARES initiative, signaling a collective commitment to alleviate the challenges faced by Lagosians. This comprehensive framework, spanning transportation, education, health, and agriculture, marks a significant stride towards a more resilient and inclusive Lagos.
One of the highlights of the intervention is the Ounje Eko Sunday market, which offers a 25% reduction in food prices over six weeks. This initiative underscores the dedication to ensuring access to affordable essentials for all residents of Lagos.
Governor Sanwo-Olu’s establishment of a non-partisan Special Dispensation Advisory Council further demonstrates the collaborative approach to governance in Lagos. By harnessing the expertise of diverse voices, the council aims to contribute to the betterment of communities across the state.
In a bid to eradicate hunger and ensure the welfare of every Lagosian, the government distributed 500,000 boxes of foodstuff to Local Government Areas (LGAs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs). This distribution reaffirms the administration’s unwavering commitment to leaving no one behind in the quest for a better future.
The initiative has garnered praise from various quarters, with stakeholders lauding the government’s efforts to address pressing issues facing the populace. As Lagosians look towards the future, there is optimism that the EKO CARES initiative will serve as a catalyst for positive change, fostering a more inclusive and prosperous society for all.
