RBK MONTHLY FREE FOOD DISTRIBUTION 2026 (SEPTEMBER EDITION)
2,010 widows benefit as Lekki LCDA continues monthly food support.
Beneficiaries drawn from the five wards of Lekki LCDA received food support, as the Council held the September edition of the RBK Monthly Free Food Distribution at the Council Secretariat.
Coordinated by the Department of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation (WAPA), the distribution by the Executive Chairman, Engr. Rasaki Bamidele Kasali (MNSE, MNATE), has been to provide practical support to vulnerable residents within the council area.
Speaking at the event, the Chairman explained that the intervention, alongside the Council’s other social programmes and development projects, is being strengthened by the increased resources available to governments at the grassroots following the removal of fuel subsidy under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
RBK stressed that the monthly food distribution should not be viewed as poverty alleviation, but as a deliberate measure to provide succour, dignity and immediate relief to residents who need support.
Importantly, as beneficiaries departed the Secretariat, many passed ongoing Council projects within the vicinity, a fitting reminder that supporting vulnerable residents and building lasting infrastructure are not competing responsibilities.
The same administration providing food today is also investing in healthcare, infrastructure and other projects designed to deliver lasting value to Lekki communities.
