On World Food Day, Friday, October 16, 2026, the Lagos Food Bank Initiative (LFBI) partnered with Duale, Ovia & Alex-Adedipe (DOA Law) for the first time to provide cooked meals to 1,000 pupils across low-cost private schools in Agege, Lagos, through the EDUFOOD school feeding programme. The outreach was the third in LFBI’s World Food Day 2026 series, bringing practical food support to children and reinforcing the connection between nutrition and learning.

The day began at the LFBI warehouse in Mangoro, Ikeja, where the DOA Law team toured the facility and learned about the Food Bank’s programmes and operations. They then joined LFBI staff and volunteers in packaging cooked meals, which were loaded for delivery to the participating schools.

Through EDUFOOD, LFBI provides schoolchildren with nutritious meals to help address classroom hunger and support their participation in learning. For children who may attend school without a reliable meal, access to food during the school day can help ease hunger and enable them to concentrate better on their lessons.

Alex, Founder of DOA Law, addressed the gathering and expressed the firm’s commitment to supporting initiatives that improve the lives of children in underserved communities. The partnership reflected a shared interest in supporting children’s nutrition and education through practical action.

The meals were subsequently delivered to pupils at the participating schools, bringing the outreach’s focus directly into the classroom. By providing food during the school day, the intervention supported children’s immediate nutritional needs while reinforcing the connection between access to food and the opportunity to learn.

DOA Law’s first partnership with LFBI added to the Food Bank’s World Food Day efforts to improve food access across different communities. Through EDUFOOD, LFBI continues to work with partners to ensure more schoolchildren can access nutritious meals and participate more fully in their education.

On a day dedicated to raising awareness about food security, the outreach delivered a practical response: 1,000 meals for children across 10 schools.
