“We have now provided over 600,000 meals, we intend to reach more areas and do even more.
“In the spirit of Ramadan and our goal of leaving no one behind in the fight against hunger, we have also embarked on providing free daily iftar meals in some areas across Lagos with FoodClique Support. It’s the little we can do to put the smiles on the faces of beneficiaries.
“We are grateful for the privilege we have to be in a position to help and nothing will stop us from doing more”. He added.
