The December Ease Food Package (DEFP) was created to solve the economic challenges faced every day by the average Nigerian.
Speaking to Nigerian Tribune the Vice President of Gvest Cooperative Multipurpose Society, Ikenna Mba, said, “This is to ease their December amidst the daily hike in the price of foodstuff. It provides the community access to December food items at the September price and also creates a platform for DEFP community members to pay in instalments from September to December.
