Osun Government says it has commenced the immediate distribution of the rice component of the Private Sector Coalition Against Covid-19 (CACOVID) donated to the state.
The distribution followed the delivery of the much expected 40,332 of 10kg bags of rice component of CACOVID palliatives aimed at cushioning the adverse effects of the dreaded global Coronavirus pandemic.
This is just as the members of CACOVID monitoring and evaluation team commended the State government for its well-designed distribution template.
It will be recalled that the State government had on Monday disclosed its readiness to commence the distribution of the rice component of the CACOVID palliatives on receipt.

“I have looked through the way the palliatives are being distributed and I must confess that I am pleased with the template of the distribution which takes care of every vulnerable group in the State.
Responding to the question that the State deliberately hoarded the looted CACOVID palliatives during the #Endsars protest, Adebisi said Osun government acted in line with the CACOVID directive to wait for the flag-off of the distribution of the palliative items.
The Commissioner for Commerce, Industries, Cooperatives and Empowerment, Dr. Bode Olaonipekun, said the State was determined to ensure adequate distribution of the rice across the State.
