The initiative, aimed at providing essential support and palliatives amidst the challenges caused by the fuel subsidy removal, turned into a memorable occasion as one of the beneficiaries, an expectant mother, joyfully welcomed a healthy baby boy at Lekki Primary Health Care Center (PHC).
The unexpected but delightful moment occurred during the distribution ceremony, showcasing the real impact and significance of programs like “Nutri Mama” in uplifting and supporting mothers during pregnancy and early motherhood.

Every mother deserves access to quality healthcare, nutritious food, and essential supplies, especially during such challenging times.”
Chairperson Kasali highlighted the holistic approach of the program, which not only provides tangible support like food items, baby essentials, and healthcare products but also focuses on educating and empowering mothers. “We are not just giving out packages; we are providing education on child care, antenatal care, and immunization because the health and development of our children are paramount,” she added.
The “Nutri Mama” package, distributed to registered beneficiaries armed with their antenatal or immunization cards for access, includes staple food items such as rice, beans, garri, Semovita, and Indomie, along with baby care essentials like Nutribon, Pampers, and tissue papers.
The Chairperson, on behalf of the beneficiaries, expressed gratitude to Engr. Rasaki Bamidele Kasali, the Executive Chairman of Lekki LCDA, for his continuous support and commitment to the community’s welfare. “We appreciate the unwavering support of Engr. Rasaki Bamidele Kasali and his dedication to giving back to our community. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of our mothers and children,” she concluded.
