The palliatives, which were majorly foodstuffs, were donated across the country including Kwara State by the CACOVID Foundation as part of its support for the Nigerian governments to cushion the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq flagged off the official distribution of the palliatives on August 11, 2020, following the handover of the goods by the private sector-led body. Speaking on a live programme on Midland FM in Ilorin, CACOVID representative in Kwara State Taoheed Adewale Fasasi said, “In terms of the distribution of the palliatives, it’s been an excellent performance for Kwara State especially in terms of three key things. x“We were in Jebba (Moro, Kwara North), for instance, and it was not just about distribution, we saw the families. The state government said the remaining palliatives that were looted were meant for the victims in Edu, Moro, Patigi and Ifelodun local governments, insisting that no palliatives were diverted or hoarded.
