“We bought heavy-duty plastic garbage boxes, brooms, brushes, rakes and packers. The Alade market people need our support and assistance. It seemed as though the government has abandoned them and we thought that we needed to help them live healthy lives and imbibe the culture of cleanliness.
“This activity by the club is going to continue. We have various activities lined up for this year. This is the first activity we are doing for our Lion’s year and part of what we are doing here today is to contain the spread of COVID-19,” she said.
Ebun Woru, who represented the Iya Loja said the market people are very grateful to Ikeja Golden Lions Club for the kind gesture.
“They cleaned the market and gave us some sanitation items. I hope other organisations could see what they are doing and emulate them,” Woru said.
