The Lagos State Government says it will distribute food stuffs to 200,000 households in the state.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced this on Friday.
He stated that the households targeted is just the first set among others.
Announcing through his Twitter handle, the governor said:
“I am happy to announce an economic stimulus package to help our residents cushion the effects of our #StayAtHome directive to stop the spread of #COVID19.
“This first stage is targeting 200,000 households at an estimation of 6 people per household. We hope to ramp it up quickly.
“The stimulus package will contain bags of rice, beans, garri, bread, dry pepper, drinking water and vitamins. We want each ration to last for 14 days as we continue to evaluate the impact of #COVID19.
“Please stay home with your loved ones. We want the best for you”
