Honourable Mrs. Bolaji Dada (Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation) how can we get to the 49 % poverty ratio of our population in Nigeria? With the billions of naira in relief funds made available to Lagos state? Unfortunately, catering to 60yr old Nigerins will not suffice

Governor @jidesanwoolu Thank you for your service at this time.Below is the estimated population per LGA in lagos,with only 25%of our population having bank accounts(which still exceeds 200,000 families ),have you considered using bVN numbers to credit accounts weekly Sir?
His Excellency @MBuhari @NGRPresident thank you for service at this time.With the 50million Euros donated by EU(21 billionNaira),Cash transfers to mitigate impact of social distancing measures was stated as PRIORITY.What agencies/NGO s are in charge of the weekly distribution?
His Execellency @MBuhari ,there are questions surrounding the allocation of the over 25billion naira Covid 19 relief funds that has been generated so far. Transparency was promised and the 7days of grace has been exceeded.Are the NGOs in charge government owned or private?
