The gesture which held at iCARE's office in Igbogbo, Lagos, witnessed observation of the necessary precautionary measures directed by the State Government to contain the spread of Coronavirus, such as social distancing, usage of sanitizer and checking the temperature of those in attendance.

Speaking with MegaXpression Community News, the WIMBIZ Coordinator said the distribution of the relief materials to women is necessary at this critical time, when the lockdown has collapsed most economy, noting that the vision of WINBIZ is to  elevate the status and influence of women and their contribution to nation building. "We aimed to inspire and empower women to attain leadership positions in business, management and public service", he said.

"What we  are doing is to collaborate with iCARE  Foodbank to identify those who are women and vulnerable in Ikorodu federal Constituency, give them the food items, regardless of political affiliations and regardless of religious beliefs without any discrimination. "The COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge to humanity and it has no respect for primordial sentiments and we are very sure of this”, he added. 

Also, the Director General of iCARE Foundation, Mayor Muyideen Sanwoola, said to MegaXpression that the gesture had become imperative, giving the socio-economic effects of the lockdown on the people, occasioned by the need to contain the rampaging coronavirus which has put the entire world on the edge.

He stated that the move is to curb the spread of the dreaded Coronavirus in the State. “Leadership is all about responsibility and at a very trying moment like this, the best way we could show love to our people is by doing everything within our power to bring relief materials to them as palliatives, and this riding on the number of other interventions that we have done since this pandemic broke out," Sanwoola said.

He further urged the residents of Ikorodu federal Constituency to maintain personal hygiene, observe social distancing and follow all preventive guidelines that will help curb the spread the coronavirus pandemic.
