The efforts of the Nigerian Government in providing palliatives to cushion the effect of the coronavirus in Kano State might have been rendered useless as palliatives meant for 50,000 households have been allegedly exposed to rainfall, The Guardian reports.
The food items donated by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development on May 17 have been left in an open warehouse at the premises of the Kano Agricultural Supply Company.
“Many people are living hungry because they cannot go to fetch for their daily sources of livelihood. The government brought the food to assist people but look at the items here under the rain and in the sun.
“How can people be starving and food meant for them left idle. This is wrong,” a source said.
