Mr. Goodluck Joel, a civilian security expert in Yeye community asserted that the foundation under his leadership noted that the level of hardship inflicted on Deltans, particularly the elderly and vulnerable people in the creeks, they felt that the foundation should contribute its quota in alleviating the sufferings of the people occasioned by the lockdown in the state geared towards curtailing spread of the virus.

Goodluck Joel noted that the group of people reached by the foundation were mostly people that even the state Government palliatives may not get to, adding that it was a painstaking journey as he visits Burutu community, particularly the Okorodudu axis and moved round all the surrounding villages down to Ekeremor.
