The beneficiaries, who are small-scale traders and market women were joyous to receive the governor’s kind gesture which includes food items and cash gifts donations.
Addressing the traders, Director General, Bureau of Community Communications, Mary Omotosho said that the initiative reflects the governor’s generosity and commitment to the welfare of the people at the grassroots level.
