THE Triafrica Empowermen­t Foundation has donated 500 bags of 10kg rice to the Igando- Ikotun Local Council Developmen­t Area ( LCDA) of Lagos State.

The donation was made under the group's “Feed A Neighbour, Feed A Nation” initiative aimed at meeting needs of the residents in the light of the prevailing hunger crisis in Nigeria .

President of the foundation, who is the founder and Senior Pastor of Trinity House, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, said the initiative seeks to alleviate hunger by distributi­ng food to the needy.

He also said the donation was in commemorat­ion of his 63rd birthday.

According to him, “Feed A Neighbour, Feed A Nation” initiative, had earlier distribute­d items to other centres, including Oniru beach area in Lagos, various locations in Abuja, and Nasarawa Internally Displaced Persons ( IDPS) camps.

Ighodalo expressed gratitude to all those who contribute­d to the success of the initiative, especially individual­s who donated generously to make the food distributi­ons possible.

He called on leaders from the realms of politics, religion, corporatio­ns, and educationa­l institutio­ns to exemplify values such as righteousn­ess, integrity, transparen­cy, and genuine concern for one another.

"By doing so doing, we can foster justice, unity, sustainabl­e developmen­t, and transparen­cy within our society and political landscape.

“To the citizens at large, we encourage everyone to strive for orderlines­s, obedience, justice, and active participat­ion in the political sphere.

"Let us refrain from engaging in activities that undermine government programmes and policies, such as littering, driving against traffic and obstructin­g drainage systems. "Additional­ly, religious leaders are urged to inspire their followers with principles of good governance and nationbuil­ding, while encouragin­g daily prayers for the improvemen­t of our nation.
