The Aliko Dangote Foundation (ADF) has initiated the distribution of 80,000 10kg bags of rice to vulnerable individuals in Lagos state. Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Group and Chairman of the foundation, highlighted that this effort is part of a larger plan to distribute over one million 10kg bags of rice to reach one million vulnerable people across the 774 local government areas in Nigeria.
Speaking at the flag-off event in Alausa, Dangote emphasized that distributing the 80,000 bags of rice is another way the foundation demonstrates its commitment to compassion and solidarity, values that are fundamental to humanity. He also mentioned that this rice distribution complements the daily distribution of 12,500 loaves of bread in Lagos, further illustrating the foundation's dedication to alleviating the burdens faced by vulnerable communities in Lagos State.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State commended Dangote for his numerous initiatives aimed at alleviating the suffering of Nigerians. Sanwo-Olu praised Dangote for his compassion towards the needy in society, noting that the distribution of 80,000 bags of 10kg rice reflects the foundation's prioritization of people's welfare over profit and wealth accumulation.
