It is often said that life is a gift, and the best way to live it is by giving. This is why birthday celebrations are most meaningful when shared with those in need. When families are nourished, hope is renewed, children are given the chance to grow strong, and communities are empowered to thrive together.
On January 26, 2026, Lagos Food Bank Initiative will partner with The Morayo Show through the Temporary Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) to celebrate the birthday of an icon, Dr. Stephen Akintayo, by supporting resilient families facing food insecurity in Ikeja community.
