The Ogun State government has insisted that the target of the distribution of its COVID-19 relief food items is for the poor and vulnerable, hence its insistence on direct distribution to the intended beneficiaries. 

KUNLE SOMORIN, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor DAPO ABIODUN, in a statement noted that the government’s attention has been drawn to some video clips circulating on social media purportedly showing some scanty items being distributed to Community Development Councils and Associations for onward distribution to their members.

He said 500,000 poor and vulnerable households are targeted in all, covering an estimated three million individuals in the state.
