Lawal noted that the Ministry of Agriculture was collaborating with the Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) in order to be able to reach the targeted audience as well as ensure fairness and evenness in the distribution of the stimulus packages, just as he stressed the importance of each Lagos resident registering with the Agency in order to assess social benefits like this in the future.

The Commissioner therefore urged those concerned to quickly respond to the SMS stressing that they have till midday 12:00pm of Tuesday, March 31st 2020 as that is cut off period.

He reiterated that as soon as all responses are collated, beneficiaries will start receiving their stimulus emergency food package from the State Government.

Did the elderly above 60 tell them they are hungry or not cared for or vulnerable?

They keep doing all these stupid things. Without proper research or strategy. Nonesense as usual

Femich18:


How did you know they are gonna queue to get the package?
You guys just sit in a corner and say anything. You should have find out how the distribution gonna be before you say something about it

sexiestharam:

Mr intelligent, please explain to us how it would be shared. Thank you.

Myway20:

They just said they were using lassra database and they should confirm their addresses now. So I guess they r taking it to the homes

Ghostmode2two:
What gives you the impression that the food stuff the government is distributing to them is the kind of food all the aged people within that age bracket in Lagos eat? Don't be myopic!

okomile:
My mother is 86 and lives in Shogunle
If it gets to her, I will create a thread for it


Just find it difficult to believe politicians

anonimi:


Why do you think I am not a Lagosian
Because I factually criticise your JagaBandit consistently?
Get a grip on yourself bro.

Let’s, just for the sake of argument, suppose it is not...
So you want them to give them the “wrong” medicine to go with the wrong food?!

Medicine is not fungible as food. If they don’t like/want the food, they can always give it to the rest of the family or friends, but not so with medication. While I realize that many of you folks simply get your medicine from the local ‘Patent Medicine Store’ and hope for the best there’s a reason that doctors’ prescriptions are mandatory for most medication. Next, you folks will start blaming “village people”. SMH

Ajibel:


How do you come up with such claim that they did no research?

Abi you just want to criticise the government because it makes you feel better?

sexiestharam:

You guess. You don't know. Abeg leave me.

jaxxy:


I have nothing against the government that’s why I can talk. Which old people above 60 have they made prior contact with and how do they come about the Age range as the most vulnerable?

People who can’t handle criticism are bound to make many mistakes and repeated ones also.

Ajibel:
Will you shut up anonimi. You're very notorious around here for posting trash on any Lagos related threads. You're just as annoying as musiwa. You never see anything good with any policy they come up with. I wonder how much joy or orgasm you get from all these tinubu's pictures you always use to spam any Lagos related thread.

Ajibel:


They go to their homes to deliver it
