In
providing succour for some residents as a result of Coronavirus
pandemic in Oyo State and Osun State an Agricultural Foundation,
"Agricultural Social Entrepreneurship Foundation" (ASEF), a subsidiary
of "FarmKonnect" distributed food items worth thousands of naira to
over1,200 families, to cushion the effect of hunger on people during the
partial lockdown in Oyo state and totally locked down in Osun State.
The distribution of the food items was done on April 1st and 2nd 2020 at both state Ministry of Agriculture,
In
Oyo state 500 of the food items were received by the Executive
Assistant to the Governor on Agriculture, Dr. Debo Akande and the
Commissioner for Agriculture, Mr. Ojekunle Ojemuyiwa.
On
Thursday the Commissioner For Agriculture and Food Security in Osun
State Hon Adedayo Adewole also received 600 bags of food items on behalf
of the government and additional 200 items were distributed by
Farmkonnect in the two states
While
speaking, the founder of Farmkonnect and the ASEF foundation, Mr. Azeez
Oluwole observed that the gesture became imperative at this time, owing
to the negative effect the restriction of movement might have on the
people, especially those eking their living through daily earnings.
He
said: "In this period, we understand that the partial lockdown in
activities will affect some households. There are some people that are
daily earners and it might be hard for them to make both ends meet. That
is why we thought it fit as a company and using our resources to give
back from the little we have to 1,200 families in Oyo state and Osun
state
