Coronavirus palliatives: Family members cannot receive double money

Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Sadiya Farouq has addressed claims of two members of a family being paid N20,000 each recently, saying it was highly impossible for such to happen.

Speaking at the Presidential Task Force briefing on COVID-19 on April 21, Sadiya said members of same family cannot receive money more than once.

The Minister said “This is near impossible because the process involved is a very tedious process, where all critical stakeholders in the community are involved. The community leaders and the faith-based organisations, the youths and women leaders in that particular community are the ones that come up with the list of poor and vulnerable ones in that community.”
