Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday announced a programme, tagged: “Food Kitchen” aimed at feeding 100,000 youths daily to cushion the effect of Coronavirus lockdown in the state.

The governor disclosed this while giving update on the Coronavirus situation in Lagos in Marina, Lagos Island, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.

According to Sanwo-Olu, “in the next couple of days, we will commence a daily “Food Kitchen” programme which will see us aim to feed about 100,000 people daily.

“This will largely target the youths. We are identifying local food vendors who will pilot this programme and ensure that the process of cooking and serving of the meals adhere strictly to public health guidelines.”

The governor also said his istration was cleaning up its data from various social s to get a clean list of truly vulnerable and economically challenged persons to enable it remit some cash to them.

“We aim to do these cash transfers by the end of the week to a minimum of 250,000 indigent citizens,” he said.

Also, Sanwo-Olu said he had just issued an order to the Police; LASTMA and the VIO to release all impounded vehicles arrested for minor traffic offences from the 1st of March 2020 to date.

He said the directive would take effect at the end of the lockdown.

The governor also announced that all the Micro-Small and Medium Enterprises, MSMEs and Small and medium-sized Enterprises, SMEs who had taken Lagos State Employment Trust Fund loans and other government programme loans would enjoy a three months moratorium.

“This will further help to cushion the effect of the lack of economic activities occasioned by the lockdown,” he said.

Sanwo-Olu reminded Lagosians that this is a season for obedience and personal responsibility, urging them to follow the guidelines as issued by the health experts and authorities.

“Please, let us cooperate with the government to ensure that we have an outcome that is favorable to all. I can assure you that we will surely overcome this pandemic, and we will emerge stronger and more determined to transform the lives of all Lagosians and all the people of Nigeria, for the better,” he said

Indigent citizens?

What of poor non indigenous citizens?

War is loading.....

Indigent is not the same as indigene...

All the same, which war is loading

Wise Igbos have since left for the yeast... This is not the best time to be/remain in "no man's land"...

100,000 youths out of the millions in Lagos. Imagine the pandemonium that would ensue when hungry boys are struggling to get their share.
Hopefully, this move wont end up being counterproductive. The govt keeps preaching social distancing yet they're bringing programs that would possibly breach it

There are a lot of things to put in consideration before rolling out such program.... although it is a good one.
Will it be door-to-door service or people will queue up for the food? If the later, then what measures will be used to obtain better result?
People will tend to cheat or cause problems, social distancing will be a total failure.....

I'm just thinking out loud

100,000 youths in the whole of Lagos state or 100,000 per local government?

This nation is a joke!

Wish them all the best

good move by Lagos State govt

I hope they will not ask for APC hip card before given out their watery soup and watery semo

why d lockdown then
if people will still come out to scramble for food. where did all these politicians keep their brains
a good kitchen that will turn anarchy. people falling on top of each other to scramble for food, field day for Coro spread.

na wa oo




Alaye forget d kitchen, all of us can cook, share d ingredients house to house

Great

Very good initiative by the Governor.

How would they share this figure across all LGAs? Expecting serious scuffle regards this

Lagos is trying to do the best it can....FG is keeping up with "we will", "we plan to"

1.million boys have spoken

Don’t deceive us with food....send money into our s

Only if there are reliable data to base all these plans on. At the end of the day, it might not achieve the aims.

Nice one

I'm not sure how this will turn out
