Each Church will receive the following items: bags of rice, bags of beans, bags of garri, tubers of yam, hand sanitizers, face masks and cash to take care of vulnerable persons among their members. The designated representatives have already been contacted.
Also, the state geriatric services agency will immediately commence visits to senior citizens who are above 70 years to deliver food, drugs, face masks and hand sanitizers on behalf of the government.
Further delivery schedules will be announced in due course for other churches and community groups. There will also be a mop up exercise of the distributions to include those who might have missed out in the initial phases of the deliveries. Such people will be reached through the traditional rulers, community president generals and ward leaders.
