‘Traditional rulers, others to distribute Kwara palliatives’

Chairman, Kwara state Committee on Palliatives and Emir of Shonga, Dr Haliru Yahaya has said that traditional rulers, religious leaders and community-based organisations at ward levels will oversee the distribution of the state government’s palliatives packages to the poorest of the poor in the state.

“Accordingly, each of the 16 local government areas and 193 wards in the state are hereby required to set up an implementation committee respectively comprising a representative each of the following: the most senior traditional authority in the local government and ward; the most senior religious authority in the local government and ward; and two representatives of the community-based organisations in the local government and in the ward.

The emir, a medical doctor, also explained that the ward level distribution would involve strict adherence to COVID-19 prevention protocols, including temperature screening of beneficiaries and social distancing. The monarch said: “This committee, which is an offshoot of the larger Kwara State Technical Committee on COVID-19, was given the mandate to draw up the modalities for and supervise the distribution of the palliatives from the government and well-meaning members of the society who have donated to this humanitarian cause.

Uneven distribution of wealth in Nigeria is a big problem 70% of Nigeria citizens are living below poverty line. The insensitivity of the Nigerian government is an indication that Buhari government is a failure. And time will tell because posterity will locate us all. Doom days

😳...traditional wetin? Una no ready or get sense at all. Give the money to Churches and Mosque organisations instead, you “may” still find some honest people there.
