The Osun State Government has started the distribution of rice for both Easter and Eid-l-Fitr celebrations.
This was made known in a statement by the state governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, on Saturday.
The statement read in part: “Governor Ademola Adeleke has restated his commitment to physical and stomach infrastructure as his government commences distribution of rice for the celebration of both the Easter and Eid-l- Fitr.
“The distribution which started in the last 24 hours is billed to cover all major population groups in the state.
“Already, the Christian Association of Nigeria has gotten the allocated rice through its state leadership while the Muslim community are in the process of taking theirs.
“Other interest groups also listed to benefit from the exercise include traditional religion practitioners, Media groups, civil society groups, youth bodies and student organisations.
“Aside from the current distribution, the government is to commence another round of rice and other palliative distribution after the yuletide period.
“The state and the Federal Government are collaborating to share more palliatives, all in an attempt to alleviate the suffering of our people.”
