The Agboyi-Ketu Local Council Development Area in Lagos State reaffirms its commitment to social welfare through the Adetola Food Bank initiative.
This program aims to support vulnerable residents, with the recent distribution of food items benefiting 1,000 households. The council emphasizes that this initiative is part of a sustained effort to enhance the welfare of its community, not a politically motivated gesture.
Adetola Food Bank Initiative Expands Support
The Agboyi-Ketu Local Council Development Area has launched the second edition of its Adetola Food Bank initiative. This program, introduced by Executive Chairman Adetola Abubakar, is designed to provide ongoing support to vulnerable residents. The council insists that the initiative is a structured and continuous effort aimed at welfare and long-term development.
In its statement, the council clarified that the food bank is part of a broader social safety net. It addresses the needs of elderly citizens, widows, low-income families, and persons living with disabilities across the council’s seven wards. The council aims to cushion the effects of current economic challenges faced by these groups.
Lagos State’s Commitment to Social Welfare

It is a critical component of its social safety net, reflecting a long-term commitment to ensuring that no vulnerable resident is left behind. The initiative is part of a wider developmental agenda that includes infrastructure upgrades, community security, youth empowerment, education, and primary healthcare support.
