The Lawrence Olanrewaju (LOI) Foundation has distributed food items to thousands of residents in Oshodi, Lagos, as Muslim faithful observe the Ramadan fast, with a call on Nigerians to continue supporting President Bola Tinubu.
The outreach was held during the foundation’s Ramadan lecture and Iftar programme.
Speaking at the event, the founder of the foundation, Lawrence Olanrewaju, said the initiative was part of efforts to give back to society and support residents during the fasting period.
He said Ramadan should not only be a period of abst inence but also a time to build stronger communities and show compassion to the less privileged.
Olanrewaju also expressed support for President Tinubu, saying the administration had taken steps to stabilise the nation’s economy since assuming office in 2023, adding that more time was needed to consolidate ongoing reforms.
“I have always believed in sharing with my brothers and giving back to society. Ramadan is not just about fasting, it is about building better communities. President Bola Tinubu has done a lot since he came on board but he cannot fix everything in a day. When something has gone bad, it takes time to fix it. I appeal to Nigerians to continue to support him so he can finish what he started,” he said.

Prof Kunle Gbenro urged Muslim faithful to imbibe the virtues of generosity, discipline and compassion during and after the fasting period.
He said the lessons of Ramadan should not end with the fasting season but should reflect in everyday conduct.
“Faith, discipline, compassion and generosity are qualities we must imbibe. Fasting is not just about abstaining from food; it should transform us during and after Ramadan. We must continue to show these values even after the fasting period,” he said.
Prof Gbenro added that building a better future for the country would require deliberate efforts to support young people and create opportunities for them to develop their talents.
