MOK Foundation Distributes Farm Inputs to Boost Food Production in Kwara State
The Muhydeen Okunlola Kayode (MOK) Foundation has distributed essential agricultural inputs to farmers across all 16 local government areas of Kwara State, Nigeria, as part of its 'Feed Kwara, Grow Kwara' initiative. Launched in 2023, the program aims to enhance food security and productivity by providing fertilizers, herbicides, improved seeds, sprayers, and irrigation equipment. Recent distributions in April 2026 targeted communities in Kwara South, including Offa, Oyun, and Omu-Aran. The foundation explicitly rejected allegations of political bias and insensitivity regarding security concerns raised by the Kwara South Development Forum. In a statement, spokesperson Nurudeen Muhammad emphasized that support is non-discriminatory, based solely on farming status, and condemned attempts to link the aid to criminality. While acknowledging regional insecurity, the foundation highlighted complementary efforts such as supporting vigilante groups and installing solar lighting. The organization plans to expand distribution ahead of the rainy season, asserting that economic empowerment and security are interconnected necessities for sustainable agriculture and community stability in the region.
