The Ogun State Government remarked that the relief materials were for poor and vulnerable households, numbering up to 500,000, as the state estimated 3 million people as its population count.

"The distribution will start with the first batch of 100,000 households across the twenty Local Governments in the state on a ward by ward basis in phases of 250 -300 households per ward.

"For avoidance of doubt, the Ogun State Government relief food pack contains the following seven items: 5kg of rice, 5kg of beans, 5kg of gari, salt, seasoning cubes, 4 Nos. vegetable oil sachets, and 5 Nos. tomato puree sachets.

"The pack is branded with Ogun State Logo for ease of identification. A pack is meant for ONE household NOT for a street or CDA," the state government maintained in a statement which was released a day before.
