The Minister said this while answering questions from newsmen at the daily briefing by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 on Tuesday in Abuja.
Farouk said the Federal Government palliative was for minimum of two months, which, according to her, is to provide food and money for the poor and vulnerable in the country.
She noted that of the 700 metric tonnes of grain approved for distribution by President Muhammadu Buhari, 279 had been distributed in the FCT, Lagos and Ogun States, while the remaining would be distributed to other states
