Ondo State Council for Islamic Affairs (ODSCIA) has distributed 10,000 bags of rice donated by Dangote Foundation to Islamic stakeholders.
League of Imam and Alfas, FOMWAN, NACOMYO, Ansa-ur-deen, NASFAT, MSSN, and others were beneficiaries.
Chief Imam of Araromi-Obu and Chair of ODSCIA, Sheikh Muhammad Akinpelumi, said the distribution was monitored by Muslim Welfare Board.
He said Allah used his organisation to reach out to Muslims in the state.
“It cuts across every state, including Abuja so, we thank Allah through them.
“This is the first time we will receive palliative from government through Ondo State Council for Islamic Affairs.
“We learnt through our zoom meeting they have been doing such through government agencies but the feedback was not encouraging so, they had to use Ondo State Council for Islamic Affairs.”
Ademola Fadola said the rice was to celebrate end of the fasting season.
NACOMYO’s Coordinator, Dayo Muhammed, sought more palliatives to cushion the hardship.
