In the spirit of Ramadan and Lent, and as part of his ongoing commitment to giving back to society, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, distributed food items, cash, and school bags to more than 5,000 residents of Ibadanland.
Beneficiaries went home with cash and essential foodstuffs including rice, beans, semovita, garri, maize, and noodles, expressing heartfelt gratitude to the monarch.
Represented at the event by his wife, Olori Rashidat Ladoja, the Olubadan’s generosity was highlighted as a long-standing tradition.
Olori Ladoja noted that the gesture has been carried out annually for the past 20 years, with this year marking the first since Oba Ladoja’s ascension as Olubadan, reaching a record number of beneficiaries.
She described the monarch as a leader who prioritizes the welfare of his people, both during his time as Senator and Governor, and now as Olubadan.
Several beneficiaries—including elderly men and women, youths, and children—prayed for the Olubadan and his family, thanking them for consistently putting smiles on the faces of the less privileged.
