He stated that he personally supervised the distribution of these palliatives to the people in Lagos, to ensure there were no stories. Some of the Governor’s aides were also on ground to witness the distribution.

"Hunger remains a huge threat to the peace, stability and security of every society, this is why we must continue to assist more citizens, especially the poor and those whose livelihood depends on daily income"

"This will not only ensure that Nigerians adhere to the movement restrictions, it will also help prevent crime and social unrest while we fight to control the spread of the virus in our country."

He commended His Excellency; Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for the courage and pro-efficiency he has brought to bear in fighting this deadly virus. He said its  worthy of note to thank him for also giving other prominent Igbo personalities and Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo( Lagos) palliatives to distribute to our people in Lagos. He urged them to distribute these palliatives effectively so as to cushion the effects of this pandemic on the rest of our people.


Conclusively, he stated that, Nigeria as a nation must not bow to this unfortunate calamity. "This is why we must remain committed to standing united in giving full support to our government's effort in combating this global epidemic." May God Almighty protect us as a nation and spring us to rise back stronger from this adversity, called corona virus.
