Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has introduced a discount of 25% for food items bought by residents of Lagos State.
This was made public in a video shared on the X platform by the Lagos State government on Wednesday.
The food discount elicited joy and appreciation from the people of Lagos, who appreciated Governor Sanwo-Olu for the gesture at a time when many residents and families are battling to survive the current economic hardship in Nigeria.
The statement from the X account of the Lagos State government reads: “Incredible gratitude fills the hearts of Lagosians as they extend their sincerest appreciation to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his decision to introduce a 25% discount on food items.
“This initiative has not only lightened the burdens of many households, but it has also reaffirmed their faith in the government’s commitment to improving their quality of life.
“The people of Lagos, however, humbly appeal to Lagos State Government for the construction of more agro-produce hubs so that the discount sales programme reaches every corner of the state.”
