PALLIATIVES DISTRIBUTION: OGUN STATE COMMUNITY GETS ONE BAG OF RICE FOR 200 HOMES

PALLIATIVES DISTRIBUTION: OGUN STATE COMMUNITY GETS ONE BAG OF RICE FOR 200 HOMES

BY JENNIFER NWOSU 

The Mowe Community Development Association (CDA) Chairman in Ogun State, Timothy Agboola has lamented on the palliative received by his community in the state.

Agboola said it was a rude shock to him as he did not know how he would share the bag of rice to over two hundred homes in the area. He said the households would accuse him of withholding the grains whereas the government did not give out what is meant to ease economic hardship amongst its' citizens.

He was quite vehemently opposed to what the government officials are doing in the name of palliative distribution.

It would be recalled that a lot of groups and individuals have called out the Bola Ahmed Tinubu led administration on poor distribution of palliatives to people across the country.

Reports have confirmed that some people got two cups of rice per household and in other areas like Badagry West LCDA,  where few cups of gari where distributed to residents in the area. A human rights group, Badagry West LCDA, Fuel Subsidy, Palliative Initiative Package,” adding that the supposed palliative would not end the socio-economic challenges Nigerians had been facing in recent time.

A human rights and pro-democracy group, Take-It-Back Movement (TIB), tackled the President on this sharing adding that the supposed palliative would not end the socio-economic challenges Nigerians had been facing in recent time.

They referred to it as insulting to the sensibilities of Nigerians and such an action could provoke Nigerians to taking to the streets to protest.

AKOKO-EDO ADVOCATES FOR HOMEGROWN RESTRUCTURING, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO SELF-DETERMINED DEVELOPMENT By Jennifer Nwosu  The Akoko-Edo Development Association (AEDA) has reaffirmed the collective desire of the Akoko-Edo people to shape their administrative future through inclusive dialogue and locally inspired proposals, rather than externally driven initiatives. In a statement signed by Barrister Mrs. Mary Opii, Secretary of AEDA, the association emphasized the importance of community consensus in any restructuring process, gently clarifying that the people of Akoko-Edo were not consulted in a recent proposal advocating the creation of Agbelo East and West Local Government Areas.
