Nigeria’s Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Sadiya Umar Farouq, has claimed that over 2.6million households have so far benefited from the N20,000 Coronavirus palliative issued by the federal government.
Farouq revealed this while speaking to reporters at the presidential task force media briefing on Thursday.
According to the Minister, over 11million vulnerable persons have been identified in 35 states yet to benefit from the palliative measure.
2.6m households are from the FCT, Nasarawa, Katsina and Anambra states.
Farouq also said the ministry is working seriously to cover additional 1m households subsequently.
She insisted there is no favoritism in the palliative support.
