In a major effort to combat food scarcity, the Muhydeen Okunlola Kayode (MOK) Movement today distributed cassava flakes and maize to at least 1,200 aged and vulnerable individuals at the Film House, Offa. This initiative marks the third-quarter food distribution for the year and is part of the Movement’s broader commitment to promoting sustainable agriculture in Offa Local Government Area (LGA).
The distribution is part of the third phase of farm produce harvested from the Movement’s expansive 50-hectare farm. The farm, which serves as a pillar of the organization’s agricultural initiative, is dedicated to addressing food insecurity and supporting vulnerable communities in the region.
Speaking on the success of the event, the programme coordinator, Alhaji Tajudeen Oyeyemi, highlighted the smooth execution of the distribution. “At least 1,200 people benefitted today without any incidents of stampedes or casualties. Everything went well, and we are glad to have supported the people,” he said.
This marks the third food distribution conducted by the Movement this year, with a growing emphasis on ensuring that vulnerable households have access to essential food items. Alhaji Oyeyemi reiterated the Movement’s commitment to addressing rising food prices and agricultural challenges, emphasizing that the initiative is part of a larger vision to foster food security and community resilience.
The MOK Movement’s ongoing efforts underline its dedication to creating a self-sustaining and food-secure environment, showcasing a model for addressing food insecurity in local communities.
