The Executive Chairperson of Irewolede Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Ekiti State, Hon. (Mrs) Dupe Bakare, has distributed 75 bags of rice to the representatives of the six principal towns that make up the LCDA, including Ilukuno Ekiti.

According to a statement by the Deputy Director, Information & Civic Orientation,
Irewolede LCDA, Mr Daniel Abe, the rice distribution ceremony took place on Friday at the council secretariat, under the supervision of the Head of Local Council Administration, Mr. Gbenga Sanya, and the Director of Community Development, Elder Moses Aniyikaye.
In her address, Hon. Bakare thanked the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and Governor Oyebanji for their generosity and responsiveness to the needs and aspirations of the people.
