It is expected that about 4, 500 members of the constituents will receive the relief materials.

“Please rest assured that the health and safety of all citizens of Imo East Senatorial district remains my top priority always. Distribution of soap and other hygiene products has commenced for the most vulnerable across the senatorial zone,” he said.
He admonished the people to take preventive measures against the spread of coronavirus by complying with directives issued by the state and federal governments, saying: “In these precarious times, our ability to overcome the challenges associated with COVID-19 will greatly depend on how well we as a nation and community follow instructions from government authorities, health officials and medical experts on preventing the spread of the virus.”
“Naturally, the looming threat of this pandemic has caused fear, anxiety, distress and panic among our people.
