Innercity distributes palliatives



Innercity Mission for Children, an NGO member of the Chris Oyakhilome Foundation International, has presented some food items to residents of Oko Oba, Agege in Lagos.

The food donation, which was in partnership with the Lagos State Government, took place at the Lagos State Agricultural Development Authority, Oko Oba, recently.

Speaking at the event, the Director, Innercity Mission for Children, Pastor Mrs Omo Alabi, stated that the idea was birthed as a vision of the world-renowned pastor and philanthropist, Rev. Dr. Chris Oyakhilome, to take action to meet the needs of indigent children and families.

“The challenge of the poor is not just about their needs; we are equally meeting our own needs. It is in your interest to help the poor. We have a divine responsibility to God, to the church and the society to reach children in our inner cities”, she said.

Receiving the donation on behalf of Lagos State, the Lagos State Commisioner for Agriculture, Mr Gbolahan Lawal, thanked the Innercity Mission for their contribution.

“I want to on behalf of the Governor of Lagos State and the good people of Lagos to say thank you to Innercity Mission for the donation they just gave to us and I want to assure Lagosians that these would be judiciously distributed to the vulnerable people in the society that the emergency response food is actually meant for,”Mr Lawal said.
