As part of measures to mitigate the effects of the two week lockdown ordered by the Delta State Government to check the spread of the ravaging corona virus (covid-19), a former Secretary to the Delta State Government (SSG), Comrade Ovuozourie Macaulay has donated food items to the people of Isoko north.
Macaulay, who is now the Director General, Warri/Uvwie and Environs Special Area Development Agency, handed over 20 bags of beans, 110 tubers of yam and 15 numbers of 25litres of palm oil to the Chairman of Isoko north local government, Honourable Emmanuel Egbabor for distribution to the needy in the council area.
He also donated 15 bags of 50kg rice, five bags of beans and four numbers of 25litres of palm oil to his community, Owhelogbo, to be shared by the indigent ones irrespective of political leanings, just as he extended a similar gesture to the Children Revolutionary Foundation Orphanage in Irri.
Receiving the items at the Council secretariat in Ozoro, the Chairman, who was represented by Mr. Onome Eboh commended Macaulay for the gesture and urged other well meaning individuals from the area to emulate him.
Similarly, the President General of Owhelogbo community, Chief Owo Ovuakporie, noted that the donation of the food items was timely because it would mitigate the effects of the lockdown on the less privileged in the community.
He commended the gesture and urged the people to pray for the donor who is the Okiroro of Isoko nation.
