The Rivers State Government under the leadership of Nyesom Wike has perfected plans to commence  the distribution of food items as part of palliatives during this Coronavirus pandemic.

Gov.Wike who inspected the State Food Bank established for the distribution of the food palliatives on Sunday said that a State Committee will be set up to implement the distribution of the foodstuffs.

Accompanied by Service Commanders who are members of the State Task Force on Enforcement of the Ban on Public and Religious Gatherings, Gov.Wike said:

"We inspected where we kept the relief materials for our palliative programme. Our intention is to ensure that we mitigate the impact of the sit-at-home directive.

"We are going to set up a committee for the distribution of the foodstuffs meant to serve as palliative for Rivers people. "

Bittertruth Media gathered that the food stuffs at the State Food Bank incude rice, garri, beans, noodles, yam, palm oil and salt.

The items according to a statement signed by Mr.Simeon Nwakaudu, the Special Assistant to the Rivers State Governor, Electronic Media are to be distributed to the less privileged in all the 23 Local Government Areas.

The Governor warned against the politicisation of the fight against coronavirus, saying all stakeholders must make sacrifices.

"We say to our people, this is not a time to play politics. Nobody should play politics with the lives of people. Everybody has to make sacrifices to make sure everyone stays alive," he said.

The Rivers State Governor said that the State Government is prepared to tackle the deadly virus.

He said: "For now, we are not hundred percent ready, but we are about 90 percent ready. Luckily for us, we have no serious cases.

"The confirmed case is doing very well. They have sent her samples and it came out negative. The final sample has been sent and we are expecting the results.

"We are doing quite well. All members of the security council are working together to ensure that we prevent the spread of coronavirus."

Nice one from Mr. Project.

Ok

River people or your cronies?

The common man will only get ₦400 worth of food stuff while your cronies load everything in their house

I hope it will not be like that of Lagos State where an entire Household is given a loaf of Bread

There is no way it won't be like Lagos own.

The thing is small compared to rivers population

Nice one from rivers state governor.

He is one of our best leaders not these media houses giving awards based on party affiliation when the people know that those governors are not performing, they 5th class governors (iti)

My prayer for Rivers state is that that one case of coronavirus remains the same until the said lady is treated and discharged from the hospital.

I thank the RSG for their kind gesture towards providing palliative measures for the common man buh honestly in my own opinion, the foodstuffs will not even be enough for my LGA (ONELGA) talk more of the 23 LGA we have in Rivers State...
What's the rationale towards the sharing of the foodstuffs?
