Olori Foundation Distributes Food Items To Indigent Women
A non-governmental organization known as Olori Omolara Sanni foundation in its determination to put a smile on the faces of the needy in the federal capital territory and beyond has embarked on the distribution of food items to indigent women FCT to ameliorate their suffering.
Over 200 women who had little or no hope benefited from the gesture of the foundation.
The food items distributed include Garri, Rice, beans, maize, millet, sugar, salt Maggi and Tomato. To mention but a few.
While distributing the food items at the weekend at the Kpaduma 3 community in the Guzape Area of Asokoro in the federal capital territory.
Speaking with our correspondent in Abuja, the initiator and founder of the foundation Mrs. Modupe Adefarakan said the food is distributed annually to address the hunger in the family, especially women.
According to her, “We annually distribute food to indigent women to address the hunger in the land. Everyone can contribute to society and every action counts in the efforts to create a more just, inclusive, and equal world. Whoever you are, no matter where you come from, every one of us can make a difference.
“The thought of people dying from hunger is the reason why we embark on this initiative, in an attempt to save their lives as a woman who understands very well, from experience, what it means to have no food at home, and who can imagine how difficult this period would be for families whose source of livelihood have been affected by the level of poverty in the country, not to talk of individuals who generally just have no livelihood at all due to life circumstances.”
She, however, appeals to well-meaning Nigeria to always support the needy.
“We appeal to other philanthropists to support in alleviating poverty in many families. If we have more funds we would do more. “
She also called on the Government to take more proactive measures to provide good health facilities, welfare items, and economic empowerment for the women in the country, a step she believed will go a long way to bring unity, peace, growth, and development to the country.
The beneficiary lamented complete social exclusion by the government; absence of food, water, good housing, school, good road, portable drinking, telecommunication networks, electricity, hospital, etc which characterized the community. They are highly impoverished and thus at-risk women are constantly abused sexually and given out to early marriages.
Highlights of the event were the mentoring session, skills acquisition including hair braiding for those who indicated interest to professionalize their skills during the last visit, presentation of humanitarian gifts, food, clothing, and household items by the groups

Nigeria’s Historic Bid for the 2030 Commonwealth Games: A Call for National and Global Support
Joel Ajayi
Nigeria is poised to make history as it seeks to host the Centenary Commonwealth Games in 2030, a monumental opportunity that promises to transform the nation’s economy, infrastructure, and global standing.
More than a sporting spectacle, the Games would serve as a catalyst for development across multiple sectors, leaving behind a legacy of national pride and sustainable growth.
The benefits of hosting the Games extend far beyond the sports arena. Nigeria stands to gain both empirical and non-empirical advantages, with direct, indirect, and induced impacts that will touch every corner of society. Infrastructural development will take center stage, with new facilities such as indoor sports halls, conference centers, and improved road networks reshaping urban landscapes while strengthening the nation’s capacity to host future international events.
Economic growth is another significant dividend. Over 10,000 jobs are expected to be created, spanning construction, facility management, event planning, and tourism services.
The hospitality industry will undergo major improvements as hotels and resorts are upgraded to meet international standards, while local restaurants, lounges, and tourist attractions will see a surge in patronage from international visitors. Small and medium enterprises, particularly in the transport, finance, and food service sectors, will become some of the greatest beneficiaries, as the Games generate new demand and expand opportunities for local businesses.
The Commonwealth Games will also accelerate the growth of Nigeria’s sports industry.
Investments in training facilities, coaching, and talent development will inspire a new generation of athletes, ensuring long-term benefits that extend beyond 2030, a major focus of the President Bola Tinubu administration.
At the same time, the process of preparing for the Games will create opportunities for Nigerians to learn new crafts, acquire technical skills, and engage in global-standard event management, thereby strengthening human capacity and innovation across industries.
Mallam Shehu Dikko, Chairman of the Nigeria Sports Commission, and Hon. Bukola Olopade, the Director General, have been widely recognized for their tireless and visionary leadership in repositioning Nigeria’s sporting sector.
Their commitment to facilitating infrastructural development and strengthening grassroots sports development has laid the foundation for Nigeria’s bold bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games. Under their leadership, the NSC is fostering strategic partnerships and driving innovation in sports administration, they have demonstrated the nation’s readiness to stage an event of such global magnitude.
Beyond the tangible gains, the hosting of the 2030 Commonwealth Games carries profound symbolic value. It would be a moment of unity and pride, a chance for Nigeria to showcase its cultural richness, resilience, and excellence to the world.
As a centenary edition, the Games would stand as a historic milestone not just for the Commonwealth but for Nigeria itself, cementing its place on the global stage as a capable, ambitious, and forward-looking nation.
The gains from hosting the Commonwealth Games can never be undermined or overemphasized. This is Nigeria’s time to step forward and show the world our resilience, and excellence. We call on every Nigerian, across sectors and communities, to support this noble aspiration.
Nigeria’s pursuit of the 2030 Commonwealth Games is a vision for transformation, a blueprint for national development, and a legacy project that will inspire generations to come.
