The Alapomu of Apomu, Oba Kayode Afolabi, has begun the distribution of food materials in Apomu, headquarters of Isokan Local Government, Osun.
The relief packages were donated by Alapomu and concerned indigenes of Apomuland.
The donations, sourced from Apomu to boost local economy, are meant to provide succour for the needy and vulnerable people as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Alapomu said the initiative was also to support the efforts of Governor Gboyega Oyetola in providing assistance to the poor and needy in the various communities in view of the corona virus pandemic.
“Government alone cannot provide for everyone without support from individuals and groups,” he said.
Oba Afolabi also initiated Apomu COVID-19 Relief Fund Project, with a committee set up to implement it.
Professor Sina Oladokun chairs the committee while Professor Lateef Agbaje is its secretary.
Waheed Oladejo has been placed in charge of Field Operations.
The committee also supervised the packaging of the food materials which include rice, beans, garri, vegetable oil, and loaves of bread.
Alapomu expressed his appreciation to the Asiwaju of Apomuland, members of the committee and the sons and daughters of Apomuland who contributed to making the project a success.
