Rev. Father Anokwuru who was speaking on the sidelines of the distribution of Federal Government sponsored palliatives across the state which he said has recorded its fourth phase, maintained that alongside the efforts of the Federal Government to roll out different tranches of palliatives, the state government has also rolled out empowerment programmes to deserving Abians including farmers not excluding the efforts by the office of the First Lady to help indigent people in the state.
