The items which are strictly for vulnerable persons such as widows, persons living with disabilities, tricycle (Keke) and other commercial transporters etc, are to be distributed in conjunction with Traditional Rulers, Presidents General, Women and Youth Leaders of the communities within the LGA.
While we are aware that the items may not be enough for all those who need them, we wish to encourage well to do individuals in all our communities to support our people in this trying time.
