The Lord Mayor of Andek Council, Mr. Ubangoh Helly, has handed over support to vulnerable persons and some social economy actors of Andek Municipality
The handing over of support to Vulnerable support to vulnerable persons has been an annual event in Andek council; where vulnerable persons are identified by Municipal Councilors and other actors in the various communities for systematic support by Andek Council, using funds devolved by MINAS and internal funding sources of the council.
In 2023, the council descended to some identified communities where the vulnérables were handed support in cash, in the neighborhood.
The 2024 ceremony saw the Lord Mayor handing over two pantalon male and female chick, some rice, magie and transport to the beneficiaries. This approach was welcome because the fowls shall create jobs for the beneficiaries while they gain value.
In the distribution to the social economy actors, of items purchased using funds devolved by MINPMESSA, the approach was also modified.
It was a hectic day for the Lord Mayor and his entourage. Despite the heavy rains that characterized the day, they joined the population in the market, where they took advantage to sensitize the public on other issues of the municipality.
Instead of handing over all the gifts to group leaders, some of whom have demonstrated their selfish attitude, articles such as spray cans, wheelbarrows, herbicides were handed over to group leaders while other articles such as cutlasses, files and hoes were handed over, amidst heavy rain, to individual farmers. In this way the Mayor was able to reach out to 100 farmers using the meagre funds available.
