Aviation Committee Chairman in the House of Representatives, Mr. Nnolim Nnaji has appealed to the privileged Nigerians to reach out to the less privileged and vulnerable people around them with food items to help cushion the impact of the lockdown directives by the States and Federal Governments on majority of Nigerians.
Nnaji spoke while distributing food items comprising of 600 bags of rice and 600 cartons of noodles including some amount of money to his constituents in Nkanu East/West Federal Constituency of Enugu State.
He stressed that the present situation required that the privileged Nigerians must come out to support what the States and the Federal Governments are doing to provide succour to the citizens.
“This is the time we have to demonstrate our true African belief of being our brothers’ keepers by sharing whatever we have with our neighbours so that together we can overcome this pandemic” he said.
An electronic statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Titus Agbo, the lawmaker urge corporate bodies and churches to equally step in and assist in providing palliatives to the people noting that majority of the citizens who live on daily income are already suffering the consequences of the stay at home order across the country.
Nnaji further expressed concern over the disturbing videos of severe human rights abuses against those who violated the stay at home order by the security agencies especially the military which are trending on social media.
