The lawmaker said Kaduna State alongside other state governments had taken the bold, painful, but necessary decision of lockdown in order to stop the spread of the deadly Coronavirus.
“These palliatives which include essential foodstuffs like, rice, millet, sugar and vegetable oil are targeted at two million households and it will continue for the next seven days.
“Also, the palliatives will also be targeted at religious groups, orphanages, women groups, traditional institution and vulnerable groups.” He said.
