He said among the items distributed were sugar, salt, rice, Indonmie and pasta, to mention but few, adding that the greater percentage of the items would be distributed to over 49,000 beneficiaries across the state.
He said, “the remaining palliatives are going to be distributed to other people with special cases, pointinf out that in the last 23 days, no single case of Covid-19 was recorded in the state”.
Also the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria who was represented by Lawal Ado, a manager with the United Bank for Africa, said the distribution of palliatives was timely, urging the beneficiaries to make use of the items judiciously.
