Seyi Makinde Distribute Palliatives

The governor of Oyo has find time to visit places in his state to see palliatives been distributed to the vulnerable people. In a State, that has had it's share of the covid-19 cases, and also a State where the governor himself was once positive before been treated and tested negative - Seyi Makinde initiative and visit would have surely encourage some as his short trip within the State had some great stop-overs.

Today, we were at Igbo-Ora, Ibarapa to flag off the distribution of palliatives to 90,000 poorest of the poor households and 30,000 vulnerable households. I stated that I have mandated that the distribution for the first 90,000 should be done in the next three days. 

I enjoined all traditional rulers and leaders in various zones in Oyo State to keep an eye on the distribution to ensure that only people who qualify get the palliatives. If they suspect any foul play, they should contact us. 

On our way to Igbo-Ora, we stopped at the Directorate of Vocational Skills and Entrepreneurship Studies at the Ibarapa Polytechnic, Eruwa, where Adire (tie and dye), bed sheets, and face masks are being produced. 

We also visited the Model Primary Health Care Centre, Oja Oba, Igbo-Ora which will be converted to an isolation centre. The centre has the capacity to take 40 beds
