Our teams of eye withness
While interviewing few persons at the scene who
Express anger towards the manner of which the food relief materials was shared and distributed
According to Mrs Mercy!
The hall was stuff and ventilation was minimal.
Mr Matthew express deep anger as the food item was with held from sharing by the distributors
The crowd got angry and started dragging the food items and the rice bags burst and spilled
Another eye withness express deep anger as He said the food sharing was baised and the strong was oppressing the weak ..
Looking at the mode of distributing of the food item, in rivers state we believe its a wrong approach..
We kindly advice the state government to use another means of disbursement.
It can create a registration portal for every residents of rivers state to fill online with address and name.
Empower volunteers with government vehicles and few security personnel who shall distribute this food items base on data collected by the portal to the different district by names and addresses
This will ensure proper distribution of food relief materials to districts and cover virtually all areas in ph city and Rivers State at large.
The shot was taking from outside gathering as we could not gain access to the hall.
Please send your comments and contribution on how you think the government should distribute
Covid-19 aid materials with out clusterring of citizens since we are looking at social distance.
