Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has said the state government will roll out food packs through various bodies from Monday to Lagosians to alleviate the harsh effects brought about by the new naira and fuel scarcity in the country, especially the less-privileged and the vulnerable.

The Governor also said that the half price on buses, boats, Lagride and other public transportation using Cowry cards will be extended from the initial one week to continue for a longer time, adding that his administration is working with the health sector to see how best the state can reduce the hardship being faced by residents of the state.

Governor Sanwo-Olu made the disclosure at the Lagos State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria’s Inter-denominational Divine Service (IDDS) 2022, held on Saturday at the LAWNA Territorial Headquarters, Ketu in Lagos.

The programme with the theme, “Peace be Still -Mark 4 vs 39″, was attended by all the Christian coalitions in Lagos State to pray for the State and Nigeria.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, who was the Special Guest of Honour attended the event in the company of his wife, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, and members of the Lagos State Executive Council said his administration would continue to fight for the less-privileged and the downtrodden to ensure that people were broken from shackles of poverty.

“As your Governor, I cannot pretend that I don’t know that things are tough out there, there are many challenges that we all face. I come with a big heart to say to you that I share with my people and that is why we will be going back to Abuja until we do the right thing,” Governor Sanwo-Olu.
