“We will share 200 bags of rice each to the 179 communities we have in the state. That’s about 35,800 bags in total. My government will announce further stimulus package in due course”. 


“We call on the traditional rulers, the Presidents General, and ASATU women leaders to quickly send their list of beneficiaries which will be jointly signed by them to the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs immediately. Communities that send their list first will receive theirs immediately”, Governor Obiano said.
