Rivers Community Tasks Firms On COVID-19 Palliatives
Iriebe, Community in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State has urged companies operating in the area to provide the residents with food items to cushion the effects of the coronavirus.
The Iriebe Council of Chiefs Chairman, Chief Godspower Eleto spoke in Port Harcourt while the Paramount Ruler of the Community, Eze (Dr) Jeremiah Worenwu, distributed some food items to women as community efforts to alleviate the suffering in the area as the lockdown continued in the state.
Eleto called on companies operating within the community to come to their aid as the paramount ruler cannot cater for the needs of the residents alone.
However, Worenwu explained: “The community thought it wise to give assistance to both indigenous and non-indigenous women living and doing business in the community, the food items though it will not be enough but is just to support them since they have been observing the sit at home directives of the Rivers State Government.
“The traditional ruler said that the food items which included garri, yam, onions, and indomies were the effort of the community”, saying that they were informed that the local government is also making similar arrangement of palliative measure but they were yet to receive the items.
