A member of House of Representatives, Representing Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency, Honourable Akin Alabi, has attested to the effectiveness of the Federal Government relief cash being distributed to the poorest of the poor across the nation.
On Tuesday morning, 5th May 2020, while speaking live on a popular radio station in Ibadan, Hon. Akin Alabi, said that hundreds of people in his constituency received cash palliative from the Federal Government.
It should be recalled that about four weeks ago, the Federal Government of Nigeria announced the transparent disbursement of conditional cash transfer funds to selected Nigerians.
While the majority of Nigerians believed that the relief measure was a fraud with no evidence of people receiving it, Hon. Akin Alabi confirmed that he knew of hundred persons in his constituency, Ona-Ara/Egbeda, who had received the conditional cash transfer funds.
He further stated that he understood the fact that the number of persons benefited from the relief funds was small compared to the large population of people in the constituency, stressing that not everyone could benefit from such. He thereby reiterated his personal efforts in helping people financially.
