To ease the economic burden during Ramadan, the initiative of Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, yesterday distributed food items to 5,000 households across 10 local government areas of Osun State.
The initiative named Ilerioluwa Development Initiative was facilitated by the son of the minister, Femi Oyetola, which aimed at aiding the aged and widows during the Holy month.
Speaking at the venue of distribution, Tinubu/Shettima campaign office, Ogo-Oluwa, Osogbo, Oyetola’s son said: “This initiative is part of what I have been doing in the time past, including the last Christmas and new year celebration. This is just hand of love extended to the vulnerable especially the aged, widows and widowers.’’
He noted that the initiative is for Osun Central which made up of 10 local government areas of Osun State.
Femi who was represented by former Senior Special Assistant on Student Mobilisation to Oyetola, Comrade Kehinde Ayantunji, said, “This food items will be distributed to 5,000 households. This will further help our people during the holy month. I am sure this gesture will go a long way in reducing economic burden on our people during Ramadan.

“The package that was distributed contained Rice, Garri, Beans, milk and beverages.”
Also, the Osun State All Progressives Congress(APC) Women leader, Hon Kudirat Fakokunde while addressing the beneficiaries, held that “The incumbent government never paid attention to the welfare of its own members and associates not to talk of the vulnerable especially the aged and the widow.
“We are yet to be in government and we are doing this, imagine when we get into government. I admonish you all that from what you receive here today, extend it to others who do not have. Use this little gift to extend the love that Ramadan preaches.”
“I want to remind you that we have a strong and capable governorship candidate for the 2026 election, I urge you all to vote for him en masse for him and chase away Accord/PDP away from Osun State,” he added.
