“We are about to start the second phase of the distribution of rice and other incentives, and we felt it necessary to have the right people that will benefit from the distribution.

“The first phase are not to be repeated. The second phase, we are to capture new people, the real vulnerable people, not people that can go out there and work and fend for themselves.

“We want to take care of our aged parents, we want to take care of people we know in our communities cannot afford a day meal,

“It’s going to be 500 of the most vulnerable, 500 of the aged people and citizens who have served our communities for many years. So, is about time we start taking care of our parents and our elderly people.

“It is very important now that we get our social register data on point, because, as you aware, the Federal Government through the Minister of Humanitarian, Dr. Beta Edu, has started the process in making sure that we capture everybody that is vulnerable, especially the aged.

“The essence of gathering the stakeholders is that, we really want to know those people who are deserving to benefit from the palliatives on our next visit, that is why we are here for the mapping out,” Princess Elayo said.
