The increased level of poverty amidst the current economic challenges warrants more care for the less privileged. 

Chief Executive Officer of a non-governmental organization, Hope of Praise Foundation, Mrs Tinuola Babafemi gave the advice in Ibadan during distribution of food items to 500 people at Oke Bola. 

 Mrs  Babafemi explained that the exercise was borne out of the determination to help the vulnerable in the society, especially in the light of the present economic situation rocking the country. 

Mrs Babafemi said hunger has taken toll on the poor, and urged well meaning Nigerians to do more to help indigent Nigerians. 

Beneficiaries of the food distribution which included men, women and children, expressed gratitude to Hope Foundation for the milk of kindness. 

Items distributed are beans, rice, garri and vegetable oil
