FCT PWDs Committee on COVID-19 Palliative on Friday continued the distribution of palliative to persons with disabilities in FCT.
The residents with disabilities in Karamjiji Disability Colony, Lugbe, Apo, Kabusa etc received food items at Old Parade Ground, Area 10 , Garki-Abuja and L.E.A Primary School, Wuse Zone 2, Abuja.
The beneficiaries in their hundreds came out to receive these items which was intended to cushion the effect of the lockdown.
The beneficiaries were happy because all those who were present at the venues received the items.
One of the beneficiaries named Kabiru told The Qualitative Magazine that this is the first time he has received something from government, he thanked the committee for being transparent and allowed the information to them at the grassroot. He also said that the most interesting part of it was that the committee made provision of buses( popularly known as El-rufai bus) to convey them to the venues of the distribution to ensure that they got the items.
He appreciated the committee and the government, he blamed some dishonest people who in the past blocked this kind of gesture from government to get to them at the grassroot.
We learnt that the committee will be in Abaji Area Council today (Saturday) for the final lap of this distribution exercise.
You will recall that this exercise started on Monday and the committee has been to five area councils. The exercise so far from Qualitative Magazine point of view has been peaceful and successful though was stressful on the part of beneficiaries getting to the designated centres. But largely, it is the best distribution exercise put together by government.
