Singer Yemi
Alade, has asked the Lagos state government to give account of how the N10
billion COVID19 relief fund received from the Federal government has been
expended so far.
Recall that
President Buhari on March 29th, announced a N10 billion relief fund for Lagos
whIch is the epicenter of the Coronvirus pandemic.
Yemi via
her Twitter handle, has asked the state government how the fund has been
allocated. According to her, the daily feeding of residents of the state need
to be looked into as this is the main reason many have refused to stay at home
despite the lockdown.
She also
tasked the state governor to use the BVN of residents of the state to credit
their accounts with funds.
She wrote
We call on
Commisioner of Finance to lagos state; Mr Rabiu Olowo Onaolapo To explain to us
how the 10billion Naira covid19 relief fund has been allocated. What are your
plans to sustain the daily feeding needs nigerians?! This is the major reason
people are not staying at home!
Honourable
Prof Gbenga Omotoso, Special Adviser information&strategy, what strategies
have been deployed to get weekly stipends to the bus drivers,area boys,hawkers
that don't have bank accounts,so they do not see the need to join the
#1millionboys &prey on the poor and innocent
Honourable
Mrs. Bolaji Dada (Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation) how can we get to the
49 % poverty ratio of our population in Nigeria? With the billions of naira in
relief funds made available to Lagos state? Unfortunately, catering to 60yr old
Nigerins will not suffice.
Commissioner
@ProfAkinAbayomi,as a fellow Nigerian,I trust that the rapid increase of
Covid19 cases saddens you.Apart from the 5billion given to @NCDCgov &the
2billion worth of food items for 200,000 60 yr old Nigerians .How do we stay
healthy if the YOUTH are HUNGRY?
Commissioner

Nigeriam that live "handtomouth"&pay "rent" on a daily
basis don't get evicted from their homes by landlords?Hawkers, sex-workers,
beggers,conductors what plans do you have to protect them?''.
