A member of the House of Representatives representing Ilaje/Ese Odo Federal Constituency in Ondo State, Donald Ojogo, has distributed 4,500 bags of rice to people across his constituency.

The rice was shared with residents from Ilaje and Ese Odo Local Government Areas as part of what the lawmaker described as an effort to ease the burden on families facing tough economic conditions.

The distribution took place at the Teachers Hall in Okoga, Igbokoda, where beneficiaries from different communities gathered to receive the food items.

According to a statement released on Monday, Ojogo said the intervention became possible through his collaboration with the National Productivity Centre in Abuja.

Beneficiaries gathered inside the Teachers Hall to receive their assigned bags of rice.

Explaining the reason behind the programme, the lawmaker said he wanted to ensure that opportunities from federal government agencies reached ordinary people in his constituency.

“This intervention is part of my efforts to ensure that opportunities available through federal institutions are translated into tangible benefits for the people.

‎“The rice is secured through my facilitation with the National Productivity Centre in Abuja.”

Beyond sharing the rice, Ojogo also used the occasion to rally support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.

He urged residents of Ondo State to stand behind the President, saying they should support his bid for a second term.

Lawmaker Donald Ojogo collaborated with the National Productivity Centre to secure the relief materials for his constituency.

“The re-election of President Bola Tinubu is paramount to us in Ondo State, I want to call on our people to support the president’s re-election in 2027 for us to continue enjoying the good things the president is doing for us in Ondo State and in Nigeria in general,” he said.

Former House of Representatives member, Kolade Akinjo, who chaired the event, praised the initiative and described it as a practical way of supporting constituents.

According to him, programmes that directly improve the welfare of the people deserve encouragement, especially at a time when many Nigerians are struggling with the rising cost of food and other essentials.

Community leaders and residents who attended the event also appreciated the gesture, with many beneficiaries thanking the lawmaker for the support.

The distribution comes at a time when food prices remain high across Nigeria, with many politicians and elected officials stepping up constituency empowerment programmes and food interventions to cushion the impact of the country's economic challenges.
