 As part of efforts to cushion the biting effects of the economic hardship occasion by the removal of petrol, subsidy and freefall of Naira against the dollar, Kuala state government has commenced the distribution of another batch of 20,000 bucks of 10 kilogram rice palliatives through the community-based organization CBOs, non-governmental organizations, NGOs, civil society organizations, CSOs across the state. The senior special assistant to the state government on community development, Laual Olohongbebe, disclosed this during the distribution of rice palliatives in a lowering the state capital where he maintained that government is targeting the most deserving people in different communities through the CBOs and CSOs. What we actually want to achieve is just because we believe that most of these CBOs, community-based organizations, they are closer to the people, they know where the shoes pinch in the communities, they know those who are actually in need. What we have here, we have 20,000 bags of 10 kg rice, 20,000 bags of 10 kg rice. We have shared it on our paper in such a way that we have taken cognizance of the population of each local government area. Here we will be working with nothing less than 30 CBOs, community-based organizations in Eloni West and some other parts, 25,000, 25,000, to make sure that we get through to the downtrodden. Olohongbebe also maintained that the efforts are on going to reach other segments of the society through clerics, community leaders and other stakeholders across the 16 local government areas of the state. We have always addressed their own plight as well. We are always taking cognizance of their plight and aspirations. We have done that in the past. We are presently doing that through the chiefs, through the community leaders. We are going to the rural areas. But with this part of it is just for the urban center. So the rural areas, they are getting there. They have gotten it. Do not forget that not quite long ago, 250,000 bags were shared amongst all these people and it got to every ward in the states. We did not stop at the urban center, but this one particularly is for the urban poor. Some of the coordinators of the community-based organizations and civil society organizations said this move by government will go a long way in reducing hunger in the land. According to the information, they said we are going to receive 100 bags of 30 kg for the less privileged within our ward. I think like the previous one, this one we also serve a little kind of relief for our people within the community. At least to relieve pressure from our community people and from the government. I think this will go a long way because due to the hardship in the community and the whole state as a whole. At least this one will go a long way by reducing the hardship in the little bit. And this government is doing its own to reduce the hardship in the state.
