An initiative linked to the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, on Sunday distributed food items to 5,000 households across 10 local government areas of Osun State to ease economic hardship during the 2026 Ramadan.
The programme, tagged Ilerioluwa Development Initiative, was facilitated by the minister’s son, Femi Oyetola, with a focus on supporting the elderly, widows, and other vulnerable residents during the holy month.
Speaking at the distribution venue located at the Tinubu/Shettima campaign office in Ogo-Oluwa, Osogbo, Femi Oyetola said the outreach was a continuation of similar interventions undertaken during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
