Mr kunle and Ms Ajoke from 'We Stand' Foundation, also in the same vein applauded the initiative of Hon Babajimi Adekoge Benson, assuring to do more in ensuring hunger is reduced to the barest minimum. 

Hon. Babajimi Benson, while speaking with MegaXpression correspondent, said the initiative was designed to prevent his constituents, particularly the aged ones from going to bed without food. "What we are doing is to support our people and enable them to feed themselves for a while," JB, as he's fondly called said.
