This initiative underscores our commitment to supporting grassroots farmers and ensuring food security across the constituency.

Those receiving these materials have strict instructions to ensure equitable distribution to genuine farmers, regardless of party affiliation or indigene status, fostering inclusivity and fairness.
We recognize the importance of timely delivery, particularly for planting seasons. To address this, we will work with relevant agencies to ensure future interventions arrive earlier. While making the best of the current situation, we remain focused on continuous improvement.
The AOA Constituency Office relies on all stakeholders to hold those responsible for distribution accountable and ensure transparency. Together, we are transforming our communities and building a better future.
