EDPA begins distribution of food and items to elderly, vulnerable persons.

In the wake of the economic fallouts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the state, the Edo Development and Property Agency (EDPA) has commenced the distribution of food and other household items to elderly and vulnerable persons in the state, to ameliorate the economic effects of the pandemic.

 

Executive Chairman of EDPA, Isoken Omo, led other members of the agency to distribute the items in Oredo and Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Areas, assuring that the gesture will be extended to other parts of the state.

 

Over 1000 packs, tagged, ‘COVID-19 Survival Pack’ were distributed in each of the LGAs.

 

Some of the items in each pack include vegetable oil, rice, beans, garri, detergent, spaghetti, salt, sugar, noodles, tin tomatoes, paracetamol, seasonings, beverages, detergent, dishwashing liquid and disinfectant, among others.

 

Isoken Omo said the distribution of the items has become necessary as most vulnerable persons can no longer afford to feed themselves.
