A non-governmental organisation, Sesi Whingan Foundation, has distibuted food items to over 1,000 Muslims in Badagry, Lagos State, for breaking of fast and early morning food during Ramadan.
Its Founder, Mr Sesinu Whingan, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Badagry, that the foundation believed in helping the society during and after festive periods.
Whingan said that the foundation donated bags of rice to many Muslims in the three local government areas of Badagry.
“Apart from individuals who benefitted directly from the scheme, all central mosques in all towns and villages in the three council areas in Badagry were given a certain number of the packaged food items to distribute to their members.
“Also, some notable political leaders who are Muslims benefitted from the scheme,” he said.
He said that during distribution, the beneficiaries could not hide their joy and were full of praises and prayers for the foundation and the founder.
Whinga said he believed in humanitarian and socio-welfarism.
He said the foundation distributed food items during Christmas in 2020 in the three council areas.
