Yemi Alade questions the Lagos state government on how the 10billion Naira COVID-19 relief fund from the Federal Government has been used

Singer Yemi Alade, has asked the Lagos state government to give account of how the N10 billion COVID19 relief fund received from the Federal government has been expended so far.

Recall that President Buhari on March 29th, announced a N10 billion relief fund for Lagos whIch is the epicenter of the Coronvirus pandemic. 

Yemi via her Twitter handle, has asked the state government how the fund has been allocated. According to her, the daily feeding of residents of the state need to be looked into as this is the main reason many have refused to stay at home despite the lockdown.

She also tasked the state governor to use the BVN of residents of the state to credit their accounts with funds. 

She wrote
We call on Commisioner of Finance to lagos state; Mr Rabiu Olowo Onaolapo To explain to us how the 10billion Naira covid19 relief fund has been allocated. What are your plans to sustain the daily feeding needs nigerians?! This is the major reason people are not staying at home!
Honourable Prof Gbenga Omotoso, Special Adviser information&strategy, what strategies have been deployed to get weekly stipends to the bus drivers,area boys,hawkers that don't have bank accounts,so they do not see the need to join the #1millionboys &prey on the poor and innocent
Honourable Mrs. Bolaji Dada (Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation) how can we get to the 49 % poverty ratio of our population in Nigeria? With the billions of naira in relief funds made available to Lagos state? Unfortunately, catering to 60yr old Nigerins will not suffice.
