The member of the House of Representatives, representing Oluyole federal constituency, Hon. Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, has facilitated CCOVID-19 relief funds for 150 members of her constituency.
In a statement on Tuesday in Ibadan, the representative said that the fund would provide a sort of relief to her constituents, through the Federal Government COVID-19 Support Funds Initiative.
Akande-Sadipe said that the beneficiaries would receive N30,000 each, as part of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government’s efforts at cushioning the effect of the pandemic on Nigerians.
Hon Akande-Sadipe, who chairs the House Committee on Diaspora Affairs underscored the need to reach out to members of her constituency through the support of the Federal Government, saying that the pandemic has rendered many jobless at this time.
She added that beneficiaries were drawn from all the wards in Oluyole federal constituency, adding, “The fund is meant to cushion effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Nigerians and I hope the funds will be used to generate revenue to alleviate the economic hardship brought on by the pandemic.”
Akande-Sadipe, however, urged continuous observation of all precautionary measures which government and health authorities have prescribed, to stay safe.
She called on Nigerians to still be on the lookout for mild symptoms that are associated with the virus, such as common cold, headaches, dry cough, itchy throat, difficulty in breathing and general body and joint pains, among other symptoms.
