TRACKING___The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has disclosed that the Federal Government has begun the conditional transfer of N20,000 to residents of Lagos State as part of efforts to reduce the effect of the coronavirus lockdown.
The governor disclosed this on Friday on his Twitter handle, adding that he received the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, in his office.
According to Sanwo-Olu, the minister’s team was in Lagos to flag-off the conditional cash transfer and supply of relief food materials for the poor and vulnerable including the elderly, internally displaced persons, persons living with disabilities, petty traders, hawkers, labourers, amongst others.
He tweeted: “Today, I received the Hon Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajia Sadiya Umar Farouq who was in Lagos with her team to flag off the conditional cash transfer and supply of relief food materials for the vulnerable.
“Our state is the epicenter of COVID-19 in Nigeria. We appreciate all the support we have received from the Federal Government. Again, I appreciate President Muhammadu Buhari for his leadership and for his invaluable support. We will not rest until Lagos is free of COVID-19.”
It would be recalled that the Federal Government had said that beneficiaries of its conditional cash transfer had received it in Federal Capital Territory Abuja and some other states across the country.
