The Customs Officers’ Wives Association (COWA) on Tuesday flagged off the distribution of food items to its members in Karu Customs Barracks, Abuja.
COWA National President, Mrs. Kikelomo Adeniyi, who flagged off the exercise, said the distribution of the food items, which include rice, spaghetti, noodles and cooking oil, was part of COWA’s plans to ease life for its members.
“This is not the first time COWA is conducting this initiative for distributing food items to the members and non-members of the association, and we decided to distribute these items considering the season of Ramadan.
“Everything we are doing now is for you. Please register so we can make provision for all of you. This will help us keep proper data of everyone and we will continue doing this subsequently to alleviate the situation,” Adeniyi said.
She said foods items were also being distributed to COWA members across all Customs formations in the country.
Some of the beneficiaries expressed gratitude to the association for the kind gesture.
