Senator Tokunbo Abiru representing Lagos East senatorial district in the National Assembly, on Friday, provided another batch of beneficiaries with financial support to help them overcome challenges posed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The latest provision for 1,200 beneficiaries, came barely four weeks after about 1,000 beneficiaries received payments.
Enitan Olukotun, Special Adviser to Senator Abiru, in a statement to newsmen, said the senator, during the electioneering campaign, promised to provide succour to the poorest of the poor who were adversely impacted by the pandemic.
“True to his words, on Monday, February 8, 2021, Senator Abiru credited the bank accounts of 1,000 vulnerable, who are widows, physically challenged people, aged, women and unemployed youth drawn from 98 wards across 16 local government areas in the district.
“The N5,000 support scheme, which is scheduled into two categories, will run throughout the year 2021.
“Selected beneficiaries will be getting the assistance bimonthly, that is, once in two months, and all through the year by way of direct credit to the beneficiaries bank accounts.”
