The Food Bank Initiative, according to Rep Benson is meant to ensure that the good people of Ikorodu Division experience a caring representation.
Speaking at the food distribution, Benson noted that, beyond food support, he is committed to attracting more dividends of democracy in terms of Infrastructural projects to the nooks and crannies of Ikorodu Division.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu asked me to tell you that you have not seen anything yet.
‘Our development projects are still on-going. I will continue to bring developmental projects to your neighbourhoods. If we cannot build roads, you will get health centers, solar street lights or economic empowerments’, he promised.
