The event, organized by the lawmaker representing the constituency, was a display of generosity and compassion towards the less privileged in the community.
Addressing newsmen during the distribution event, the media aide to the Senator, Enitan Olukotun, expressed gratitude to the public for their continued support and trust in the Senator’s office.
