Ondo State Government has assured its citizens that their welfare would be prioritised at all times.

The Deputy Governor, Mr Agboola Ajayi gave the assurance on Tuesday while presenting relief materials to rainstorm victims in Supare and Ikare Akoko area of the state.

The deputy governor, while presenting the materials to the victims of the two local governments, said, “The present administration in the state attaches much importance to the well-being of the people.

“I urge you to make use of the materials,“ he said.

Ajayi urged the traditional ruler of the town, Oba Adedeji Adejoro to immediately implement the distribution of the materials to the affected victims.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the materials came barely one week after rainstorm ravaged some parts of Akoko areas of the state.

The items donated include several bundles of roofing sheets, various sizes of nail and other building materials.

Speaking while receiving the items on behalf of his community, the Oba, the Onisupare of Supare in Akoko South West Local Government area of the state, lauded the timely intervention of the Akeredolu-led government.

According to him, it is unique in the history of the state to receive such help from government within a very short notice.

He said the gesture of government would go a long way to ease the pains of the rainstorm in the community.

Also speaking, one of the beneficiaries, Mr Lucas Omotosho, thanked the state government for the assistance.

Omotosho said the gesture had strengthened confidence in government and its promises to the people.
