Dave Umahi who also reached out to over 20 families of Enohia Itim resident in Lagos with the ongoing State government’s palliatives to its indigenes in Lagos.
The sum of N13 million and 13,000 bags of 5kg rice was released by the the Governor to Ebonyi State indigenes in Lagos through the Development Association of Ebonyi state. These palliatives were distributed to the 13 local governments and down to the Autonomous communities of which Enohia Itim people in Lagos benefited from it.
“We are therefore grateful to the outstanding gesture of our dear Governor Dave Umahi, the only and first Governor who extended his palliatives programme to Ebonyians resident outside the state,” the group said.
