Ramadan: Foundation distributes food to 3,000 women in Ogun
Iyalolomo Foundation has distributed food materials to over 3,000 women, including widows, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, as part of efforts to support women during this year’s Ramadan fasting period.
The foundation made the disclosure in a statement on Friday following its maiden edition of the Ramadan lecture held at Ake Palace in Abeokuta.
It revealed that the donation included rice and garri aimed at easing the burden on women during the holy month.
Speaking at the event, the Convener of the foundation, Chief Aisha Aina, said the lecture served as a platform to reflect on the role of women in community development and to support the governorship ambition of Senator Olamilekan Yayi, representing Ogun West Senatorial District.
“We are here today to hold the maiden edition of Iyalolomo Foundation’s Ramadan lecture and to distribute food materials to over 3,000 women, including widows.
“This event is also organisedto show support for our son from Egbaland, Senator Olamilekan Yayi. His developmental strides in Ogun West show that if he emerges as the next Governor of Ogun State in 2027, the state will be better for it.
“Women from Egbaland have agreed to support him because his mother is from Kemta in Abeokuta. I urge us to use this period to pray for peace and development in Ogun State and Nigeria at large,” Aina said.
Guest speaker at the event, Fadilat As-Shaykh Abubakr Isa As-Salaaty, who spoke on the theme “The Role of Women in Community Development”, commended women for their contributions to the social and economic development of the community.
He described Senator Yayi as a politician with a large heart and offered prayers for him to realize his governorship aspiration in 2027.
