According to him, the development is part of the wider impact of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which, he said, has created additional opportunities for governments at different levels to expand support and development programmes.
The chairman stressed that the monthly food distribution should not be viewed solely as a poverty alleviation programme.

Rather, he described it as a deliberate intervention designed to provide immediate relief, succour and dignity to residents who require support.
Food Support and Infrastructure Development
Beyond the food distribution, the event also offered beneficiaries an opportunity to see some of the ongoing projects within the council area as they departed the Secretariat.
The development projects, according to the council, reflect an approach that combines immediate social intervention with longer-term investment in infrastructure and public services.
The administration said its support for vulnerable residents is being pursued alongside investments in areas such as healthcare, infrastructure and other projects intended to provide lasting benefits to communities across Lekki LCDA.
