 Governor Buye Gaw Yitola said that household and vulnerable citizens of Oshun state have benefitted in the food support scheme of the state government. O Yitola said this while flagging of the 16th edition of the programme aimed at providing so called to the less privileged in the society. The governor who was represented by the secretaries of the state government, Wally Weyibamiji said the government of Oitola is committed to ensuring the continuity of the initiative as long as they are in power. He said the administration is not in any way deterred by the outcome of the election. As the implementation of the initiative is in fulfilment of the promises to make life meaningful and worthwhile for the citizens. Speaking on the impact of the scheme on the local production and advancement of the local entrepreneurs, the commissioner for regional integration and special duties, engineer Wally Kambadmus said the state government had been able to build entrepreneurs to expand the scope of their businesses. We are aware that agriculture is a major means of economy today and we keep on telling our youths go back to the farm, go back to the farm. We have a responsibility as a government to encourage them. And those that are participating in this month's particular programme, there are about 24 groups of young, dynamic, hard-working and progressive young men and women who are producers of gari. So in this state, this gari we are supplying this month is produced by the people, by young men and women of Oshun state. The scheme has really, really encouraged local production and it has also been able to reach out to different local governments in the state where gari is being produced. We actually went through all these local governments to see where gari production is on and there has also been able to build many entrepreneurs. We are young graduates and part of them are also here today are testing to the opportunities this programme has given to them. Before I was incorporated into this project, I was a common gari possessor in the street of Odeumu. But as today standing here, I have a large warehouse in Fakunleve, the centre of Ushubu. That tells you much about the impact this very particular project has had on my business. I have nothing less than 15 apprentices working under me for the packaging. Not to even talk of the beautiful women in the village of Odeumu processing the gari before we now transfer it to our warehouse in Ushubu.
