Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Anambra State Government has commenced the distribution of food to the elderly in the 179 communities to cushion the unfavorable impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.

It was gathered that in the first phase, 15 communities across the three senatorial zones will take delivery of 200 bags of rice, five bags of salt and eight cartons of tin tomatoes each.

Distributing the items on Tuesday at Aguleri community in Anambra East Local Government Area, the state Commissioner for Local Governments and Chieftaincy Matters, Chief Greg Obi explained that the state government had mapped out modalities in accordance with Governor’s directives to ensure transparency.

According to him, the distribution will be done in every community in the presence of Project Monitoring and Management Office (PMMO) team, the House Member representing the area, presidents-generals, women leaders and other personalities designated for the purpose.
