Kwara State Government on Wednesday flagged off the distribution of rice palliatives to the most vulnerable persons in the state, with the committee saying it would share at least two hundred and fifty thousand of ten kilogram bags in the first phase.
Recall that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on August 22 inaugurated a twelve-person committee to coordinate the distribution of the palliatives purchased with the two billion naira so far received from the Federal Government.
At the flag off of the distribution in Ilorin, the state capital, the Governor, represented by the Speaker Kwara State House of Assembly Engr Yakubu Danladi said the palliatives are only a show of empathy with the people as more sustainable initiatives are being implemented in phases.
He added that the beneficiaries of the palliatives identified on a nonpartisan basis by the committee, noting that the committee consulted with different blocs of communities as well as evidence-based registers of vulnerable people domiciled with key agencies of government.
