The CaCovid was a good initiative, which was a partnership with most of the players in the private sector partnering with some people in the public sector was a tremendous success as they were able to organize and manage themselves to raise money from various corporate bodies and individuals, even though only a mere 35 billion naira was raised, it was judiciously used as each state got the palliatives, foods, health supplies. If you check their website, all their projects and achievements are well documented especially in the setting up of various emergency covid health centres. But in the distribution of food palliatives, they probably made a mistake by not creating a food stamp distribution system , it is clear that the food distribution system has been politically hijacked by the various states typical of political controversies in Nigeria. I was impressed how a website was created and a platform created to even make online donations and receive foreign funding and support. It only goes to show that private/public partnerships can work perfectly in Nigeria. Also it is note worthy that the materials were branded as a ca covid initiative. A food stamp system should have been done where people could have registered using their phones to get some of the food palliatives instead of gathering people at one location and sharing it out.

Typically when it comes to food aid distribution, politicians hijack it and give it out to only party faithful's or use it as a party loyalty strategy.
There were insinuations or a conspiracy that some of the warehoused goods were going to be horded by politicians and used in the upcoming local government elections or for the next elections holding in 2023.

cash transfer scheme was a double edge strategy, it wasnt a good fiscal policy to just give market women free cash without actually working on a fiscal policy to make some of them become casual workers working long term for a big company instead of dong petty trade, a lot of their business models are not sustainable and they dont benefit the economy in general because they dont pay tax and levies that will impact the economy, most of them used the money to buy food for their families or clothing. it was awoof galore as usual
