These palliatives were made possible by the partnership which the State government enjoys with the government of President Buhari. I commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his numerous social intervention programmes in Imo State.

Furthermore, I thank President Buhari for the wonderful partnership with the CA-COVID, aimed at bringing the stimulus package to sustain our people during this period of hardship.

I salute the CA-COVID for coming up with the programme meant to alleviate the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic on Nigerians, especially the less privileged and the vulnerable ones and ensuring that the goodies which they sent to other States also got to Imo.

9News Nigeria has it that prior to the distribution, the peoples governor Hope Uzodinma charged the Interim Management Committee (IMC) Chairmen of the 27 Local Government Areas of Imo State to strictly comply with the CA-COVID guidelines on the distribution of these relief materials by ensuring that the food palliatives gets to the actual people they are meant for, the vulnerable persons.

Also, he warned against the interference of leaders, political appointees and stakeholders, and urged the IMC Chairmen not to work alone but ensure they work in synergy with the critical stakeholders towards achieving the objective of the distribution.
