Osun State government has again updated the public on the palliative delivery from the federal government just as it is finalizing the template for distribution to residents of the state.
In a statement made available to THE CONCLAVE by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Hon Kolapo Alimi, the state was expecting the second batch of Federal Government food palliative distribution even as it still awaited the last truck of 600 bags of rice from the first batch.
According to the statement, the second batch, which was expected as soon as possible, included 14,516 bags of 50kg rice and 3, 200MT of rice.
The statement further quoted the message from the federal government team to have read: “We hereby wish to inform you that the second batch of federal government food palliative distribution is poised to commence as soon as possible, and you are scheduled to receive 14,516 bags of 50kg rice and 3,200MT of maize.”
Hon Alimi said the update above was necessary to keep the public abreast of development on the palliative distribution.
He, however, clarified that a truck of 600 bags was still outstanding from the first batch.
He explained that the state government was finalizing the template for distribution, which he promised, would ensure that all segments of the society benefited from the distribution exercise.
“The Government wants to ensure full delivery before launching out on the distribution. We assure the public of transparency and accountability in the sharing of the foodstuffs to the citizenry,” the statement posited.
