The Gadaff Future Care Foundation, led by Hon. Sulaiman Lekan Gadaff, has distributed 5,000kg of potatoes to elderly women in Asa Local Government Area.
This initiative took place as part of the efforts to support vulnerable members of the community and align with the Kwara State government’s Renewed Hope Agenda under Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq and the goal 2 on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)’s Zero Hunger.
The distribution event, organized by Mariam Kehinde Obalana, Director General of the Gadaff Future Care Foundation, aimed to provide immediate assistance to elderly women who often face financial difficulties especially in the current harsh economy.

He also praised Governor Abdulrahman for his leadership, particularly in agriculture, where programs like KwaraLEARN are helping to improve farming practices and productivity.
