Diri Chide FG For Denying Bayelsa School Feeding, Cash Transfer Schemes
TRACKING___Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State on Wednesday chided the Federal Government for not extending any of its interventionist programmes, including the school feeding and conditional transfer schemes, to the state.
He also wondered why states in the South-South where over 60 per cent of the resources used in executing the programmes are sourced, were yet to benefit significantly almost three years after the schemes commenced.
Diri stated these when the Federal Commissioner in charge of the South at the Code of Conduct Bureau, Abuja, Dr Emmanuel Attah, paid him a courtesy call at Government House, Yenagoa.
The governor, who was represented by his Deputy, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, said that Bayelsa had only received 1,800 bags of rice from the Federal Government as palliative since the hardship occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic started.
He, therefore, urged the Federal Government to commence its social security programmes in the state.
