The Lagos State Government says it will engage canteens locally known as ‘Mama Put’ to feed between 1,000 to 1,500 residents daily in each of the local government areas of the state.

Governor BABAJIDE SANWO-OLU explained that the move is part of measures to cushion the impacts of the rising cost of living in the country which has sparked protests in several cities.

He said the initiative will be able to feed between 1,000 and 1,500 in every local government per day, for the next 30 to 60 days.
