The Aliko Dangote Foundation has donated 80,000 bags of 10kg rice to support vulnerable communities across Lagos State.
The Special Adviser on New Media to the Lagos State Governor, Jubeil Gawat, announced this on Wednesday via his X handle.

However, the state government has rolled out different measures to cushion the impact of the fuel subsidy removal.
One of such initiatives is the ‘Ounje Eko’ food market where food items such as rice, beans, garri, bread, eggs, tomatoes and pepper, among others, are sold at 25% discount to residents every Sunday.
