Covid19 Gov Nyesom Wike Concludes Plans To Distribute Foodstuffs (photos) Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike on Sunday announced that his administration has set in motion the platform for the distribution of food palliatives to Rivers people following the sit-at-home directive to check the spread of coronavirus. Addressing journalists in Port Harcourt on Sunday after inspecting the State Food Bank established for the distribution of the food palliatives, Governor Wike informed that a State Committee will be set up to implement the distribution of the foodstuffs. Governor Wike was accompanied by Service Commanders who are members of the State Task Force on Enforcement of the Ban on Public and Religious Gatherings . He 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. " At the State Food Bank , the State Government has rice, garri, beans, noodles, yam, palm oil and salt to be distributed to the less privileged in all the 23 Local Government Areas. Governor Wike 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." On the monitoring of compliance by Churches, Governor Wike said the Task Force is happy with the level of cooperation from the Churches. He said: "We are happy with the level of compliance that we have seen throughout Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt Local Government Areas. The churches complied." The Task Force monitored compliance at Omega Power Ministries, OPM, Saint Patrick's Anglican Church, Rukpokwu and Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Chaplaincy, Catholic Institute of West Africa, Rumuibekwe. Governor Wike also inspected the progress of work at the State Isolation/Treatment Centre under construction. "We have visited this location to see the readiness of the isolation/treatment centre in Port Harcourt. Even though they failed to deliver the job on Saturday as promised, we are confident in the next four days, it would have been completed", he said.

Wike what are you doing about over one hundred persons arrested by the police for keeping to your instruction on the curfew? These innocent people were packed inside the police cell in violation of the social distancing order. They were later packed into buses in violation off the social distancing order and taken to the court where theyy were charged between 10l and 100k for bail for commuting no offence. You ve been silent about this wicked act and thats quite shameful Sharing food cannot clear the shame Dont be so wicked pls 35 Likes 4 Shares |

That's a good one from the Rivers State Government. I do hope this palliative packages/foodstuffs would get to all & sundry in the state compared to what it is obtainable in some states. |

Lanre4uonly: Even with magic application, there's no way those packages will get to everyone in the state. Either for political reason, community reason, friendship reason etc, some people will be denied the opportunity of getting theirs. This is no 5loaves of bread where Jesus used in feeding 5000 people. Here, there will be discrimination. 16 Likes 1 Share |
