Senior Staff Club in Federal Polytechnic, Ede, Osun state, otherwise called ‘Concerned and Socially Responsible Staff,’ has donated food items to aged residents of Ede town in a bid to ameliorate sufferings caused by restriction meant to prevent spread of coronavirus in the state.

The food items worth million were given to the beneficiaries, who are mostly elderly men and women, as parts of corporate social responsibility of the workers to the residents of the host community of the institution.

Speaking with newsmen, the coordinator of the group, Dr Samson Oluga, said restriction of movement had caused untold hardship on many residents.

He said the donation was meant to cushion the effects.

Olasunkanmi said, “We have realised that the lockdown imposed by the government to curb of the spread of coronavirus has brought negative impact on the people, especially the daily income earners.

“Many of them cannot feed themselves and members of their family because they don’t have any other means of livelihood, if they don’t go out to work daily.
