Ogbuekwe interacted with participants, providing guidance on registration and enrollment for the Workers’ Food Scheme. He outlined how workers could maximize its benefits and supported the process by sharing informational fliers, answering questions, and onboarding interested participants to ensure the programme continues to reach every eligible civil servant across the state.
Engr. Ogbuekwe accentuated the value of the Workers’ Food Scheme, stating, “The Scheme is designed to make essential food readily accessible to civil servants, ensuring that no worker has to compromise on basic needs.” He encouraged participants to take full advantage of the initiative, highlighting the state government’s commitment to practical, citizen-focused programs that improve livelihoods and support workforce stability.
