On Tuesday, First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu inaugurated the National Community Food Bank Programme for the South-West region in Ogun State. The initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda, focusing on enhancing food security, health outcomes, and overall national prosperity. The programme specifically targets malnourished children under six years old, pregnant women, and lactating mothers by providing them with nutritious food.
This was the fourth zonal launch of the programme, aimed at addressing malnutrition among vulnerable households across the nation. The First Lady commended Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun and his wife, Bamidele Abiodun, for their efforts in setting up three food banks in Sagamu, Yewa North, and Abeokuta prior to the zonal launch.
She also recognized Prof Muhammad Pate, Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, and Dr Muyi Aina, Executive Director and CEO of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, for their contributions to the programme's success. The programme is seen as a proactive measure to combat food insecurity and malnutrition among disadvantaged families throughout the country.
