Audio palliatives.

Audio, not because money meant for the implementation won't leave government coffers, NO...Audio because it will be embezzled...and the people targeted for the palliatives will not get a kobo

It's well. The method our government uses to identify the poor in the society is still a mystery.

I wonder how the post Covid-19 era in Nigeria is going to be.

We just keep hearing these things being approved or commencing, but then just a few people are the beneficiaries.
