In a bid to mitigate the adverse effects of lockdown in bid to contain the spread of coronavirus, well meaning individuals have continued to leverage this period to connect with humanity through charity, and provision of emergency relief materials to indigent house holds within the country.

With the federal government’s extension of the lockdown in Lagos, Ogun and Abuja by an additional 14days, it becomes apparent that more less privileged will have to starve longer than they bargained.

Moved by their plights, the publisher of Metronews NG Online, and founder of Metronews Chat Room, Otunba Femi Davies, with support from associates, friends and family have donated to less privileged within different Lagos suburbs, emergency relief materials, including raw food stuffs, cooked food, cash gifts and hand sanitizers.

The charity initiated by the celebrated media personality, with the partnership of Rotimi Ajanaku Foundation, Fatee Mohammed Foundation and members of the Chat Room, an elitist social media platform mostly comprising eminent individuals drawn from the corporate world, politicians, news and entertainment media practitioners among others, have concluded plans to continue another phase of the charity initiative.

According to FM, as he is fondly called, nothing less than 2,000 individuals living in different parts of Lagos have been fed within three weeks, in different phases of the outreach.

“In the last 3 weeks, we fed over 2000 people for 10days. We also gave out raw food items like rice, beans, garri, noodles, packed water, and bread to 250 families. Besides that we also gave out N5000 to 50 people on the Island, while hand sanitizers, and cash support were donated to forum (Metronews Chat Room) members in need too.

“We couldn’t have achieved these without the supports of Rotimi Ajanaku Foundation, Fatee Mohammed Foundation, members of Metronews Chat Room, family and friends,” the double chief revealed.

Commenting on the span of the outreach, the Gbobaniyi of Arigidi-Akoko in Ondo State explained that they have visited Egbeda, Idimu, Shasha Akowonjo, Ikorodu, Ketu, Ogba and Fagba.

Other locations covered were Ojodu Abiodun, Ojuelegba, Oke Popo (Ajanaku compound), Opebi, Lagos Island and Obalolu.

Understanding that the need for food is perennial, FM has promised to sustain the feeding exercise until the lockdown relapses, life returns to normalcy and people can return to their daily businesses to fend for themselves.

He therefore calls for more donors to support the noble cause, while appreciating everyone that have contributed in cash and kind towards the initiative so far.
