Peter Mbah

Governor of Enugu State, Dr Peter Mbah, yesterday, flagged off another round of distribution of palliatives in the state, warning against the politicisation of the exercise to ensure it gets to the independent and vulnerable people across the state.

Mbah, however, said that the palliatives were a quick fix and efforts of the Federal Government and the state to cushion the effects of the economic hardship in the land, while the positive results of the states economic policies and programmes crystalised.

Performing the flag-off after the inspection of the foodstuffs, which were largely grains, the governor assured that the distribution of the palliatives would be carried out from time to time.

He said: We have done this before. So, it is an ongoing thing, as we will continue to intervene, because we understand the economic challenges and hardships that our people face currently.
