The Katsina State Government has released the second consignment of over 5,000 bags of rice for the remaining fifteen days of Ramadan under the Special Ramadan Feeding Program.
During an address to members of the Steering Committee on the Ramadan Special Feeding Program, Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Alhaji Nasiru Yahya Daura, expressed appreciation for the committee members’ sacrifice toward ensuring fair delivery of the program, noting that “possible problems detected would now be rectified.”
The Chief of Staff to the Governor, Alhaji Abdulkadir Mamman Nasir, admonished all members of the Steering Committee “to bear in mind that the trust bestowed on them requires total sacrifice and commitment for the success of government humanitarian gesture.”
Alhaji Nasir further stated that “the state government had made careful analysis to ensure the processed food effectively covers the targeted beneficiaries.”
Also speaking, the Principal Private Secretary to the Governor, Alhaji Abdullahi Aliyu Turaji, provided a breakdown of the items and cash set aside for the program, confirming that “delivery of the food items would be completed before the fifteenth day of Ramadan.”
He encouraged stakeholders in the state to contribute to ensuring the program’s success, emphasizing that “government is more committed to supporting vulnerable people in the state.”
Alhaji Turaji equally noted that this commitment prompted the launch of another special package for 7,220 identified widows and vulnerable women, who each received 25 kilograms of rice and a stipend of N10,000.
The State Commissioner for Local Governments, Malam Bashir Tanimu Gambo, and the Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters, Ya’u Umar Gojo Gojo, expressed gratitude to the State Governor for implementing additional policies intended to support the common man.
