Niyi Akande, Osogbo.
A Socio-Cultural group in Aagba, a town in Boripe Local Government area of Osun State, Aagba Elites Club, has donated varieties of food items to inhabitants of the town.
This is in response to the call of the State Government for generous donations by individuals, associations, as well as non-governmental organisations of relief materials , medical accessories and food items to the people of the State.
The donation, according to members of the club, was designed towards assisting the state government on the ongoing palliative measure taken by Governor Adegboyega Oyetola adopted to curb the spread of corona virus as people of the State complied with the stay at home safe order of the government.
Speaking on behalf of the club’s President, Prince Banjo Odudare, at Aagba Town Hall, where the food items were deposited, the anchor person, Mr Obafemi Okediya described the the association as a socio cultural club of Aagba indigenes.
He added that non-political body was inspired by the State government’s efforts on the palliative measures to cushion the sit at home directive.
The Alaagba of Aagba, Oba Rufus Ogunwole who was flanked by High Chief Eesa, James Bamigbola, as well and prominent indigenes of the town, in their separate remarks, commended the gestures.
They also urged members of the group not to relent in their efforts towards achieving peace, progress and development of the town.
