Alleviating poverty is not just about getting bags of rice and sending them to one local gov – Adewole Adebayo

The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for the 2023 presidential election, Prince Adewole Adebayo has stated that alleting poverty is not just about getting bags of rice and sending them to one local government.

According to the report from Sun paper, Prince Adewole Adebayo said this while reacting to the claim that he said Tinubu’s government is talking transactionally and opportunistically.

He said, “There is a Ministry primarily named after poverty but what is their plan for holistic handling of poverty, for arresting the multidimensional aspects of poverty? Alleting poverty is not just about getting bags of rice and sending them to one local government. If we are serious as a country, we can actually measure our poverty and see the metric of poverty and then develop algorithms that can help us address poverty. If we do that, we can then see the gap between what we need to address poverty and the current capacity that we have”.
