Lakem Support Foundation Donates Food Items to FUNAAB Students

The Lakem Support Foundation has extended humanitarian support to students of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) through the donation of food items aimed at easing welfare challenges during the examination period.

The initiative, led by the Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation, Mrs. Olukemi Fashina, involved the distribution of essential food supplies including garri, rice, sugar, sachet tomatoes, sachet pepper, groundnut oil, salt, and seasoning cubes to students of the institution.

Speaking during the presentation ceremony, the Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Festus Adeosun, commended the Foundation for its sustained commitment to student welfare. He noted that the organisation has consistently demonstrated compassion through periodic interventions designed to support students across academic sessions.

He described the initiative as student-focused and impactful, adding that it provides timely relief, particularly during examination periods when financial pressure tends to increase among students.

Prof. Adeosun, speaking on behalf of the university community, expressed appreciation to the Foundation and emphasized that such interventions contribute positively to students’ academic performance and overall well-being.

In her remarks, Mrs. Olukemi Fashina explained that the donation was part of the Foundation’s broader humanitarian outreach targeted at supporting students in tertiary institutions. She noted that similar interventions have also been carried out in other institutions, including the Federal College of Education, Osiele.

The Foundation reiterated its commitment to continuing welfare-driven programmes aimed at reducing hardship and supporting education-focused communities.

The event concluded with expressions of gratitude from beneficiaries and renewed calls for sustained collaboration between private initiatives and educational institutions in addressing student welfare needs.
