States In Dilemma Over Beneficiaries Of Palliatives

A representative of the Civil Society Organisations in the 18-member committee set up by Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom, said members of the committee “are still working to get a transparent and fair strategy of disbursing the relief materials equitably to reach the rural and the urban poor.

Governor Uba Sani who disclosed this during a media briefing said the second phase will take care of transportation and assistance to small holder farmers, Micro, Small and Medium Scale enterprises. “We are committed to the effective implementation of measures lined up in the three phases. For the first Phase, the State Government has put all necessary machinery in place to ensure that the purchase and distribution of the palliatives is hitchfree. We shall also closely monitor the implementation.

However the state government had in its executive council meeting approved the selection of 5,000 women for empowerment and 1,000 youth for special grant. In Adamawa, as residents await the arrival of palliative support intervention from the federal government, acting governor of the state, Prof Kaletapwa Farauta, has inaugurated a 20-member committee to ensure a hitch free distribution of food and non-food items.Farauta urged the committee to work out modalities for the transportation of the palliatives from the source to the distribution points

Executive secretary of the State Emergency Management Agency , Dr Mohammed Sulaiman, will serve as the secretary of the committee.Also, LEADERSHIP Sunday inquiries indicated that Abia State has received N2billion and 3,000 bags of rice of 50 kilogrammes as its allocation of the palliatives. However, his counterpart in the Nigeria Union of Pensioners, Uma Kalu, appealing for additional supply, noted with satisfaction the mode of the distribution.
