Senator Nicholas Tofowomo, repersenting Ondo South senatorial district,on Sunday, donated relief materials to the less privileged in his constituency as part of efforts to cushion the effects of the lockdown occasioned by the coronavirus pandemic.

While distributing the food items and cash to about 300 underprivileged in the district, Tofowomo said the gesture was to cushion the burden forced on the globe by the pandemic adding that the development has affected the people without social advantage.

He said he decided to donate to the underprivileged because “they are vulnerable people who cannot struggle to eat even before this lockdown period, hence I decided to reach out to them with little food items pending the full empowerment.”

The lawmaker, who distributed food items to 40 people with disabilities from the six local government in his constituency, promised to donate more items from time to time.

He also called  on other well-meaning citizens within the state to also donate  foodstuff to the less privileged in the state to cushion the economic effect of coronavirus on them.
