FG DELIVERS 110 TRUCKS OF PALLIATIVES RICE, GRAINS TO KANO STATE

The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, has dispatched 110 trucks of palliatives foodstuff from the Federal Government to the Kano State Government for distribution to the needy, vulnerable and people of concern in the state.

Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq, said that the Ministry delivered ten trailer-loads of parboiled rice to the state government about two weeks ago, and in addition to that directed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to deliver 100 trucks of grains to five locations in Kano State for distribution to poor and vulnerable households on the instruction of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The grains in 100 trailers now on their way to Kano, comprise millet, sorghum and maize, which were released from silos holding the country's strategic food reserve located across the country.

It could be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to release 70,000 metric tons of food for distribution to less-privileged Nigerians to cushion the effect of the lockdown aimed at checking the spread of the killer-disease triggered by COVID-19 in Nigeria.

The Minister emphasised that “One of the humanitarian interventions provided by the Federal Government is the delivery of food items as palliatives to the poor and vulnerable in all states affected by the Covid-19 pandemic to ease the lockdown situation”.

Sadiya Farouq assured the Director General of the National Emergency Management Agency, Engineer Mustapha Maihaja that: "The Ministry will continue to work closely with all the agencies under its purview, including the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), in discharging its mandates, including providing effective coordination of humanitarian interventions both nationally and internationally for the benefit of the citizens of this country, especially during this Covid-19 Pandemic."

She highlighted the need for the Agency to work closely with the Ministry and its sister agencies in all the states in monitoring the effective distribution of the palliatives to ensure that the food items reach the intended beneficiaries, especially in states under lockdown.

In his remark, the Director General of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Engr. Mustapha Maihaja assured the Minster that the Agency will work closely with State Governments to ensure the effective monitoring and accountability in distributing the palliatives, and thanked the Minister for the visit and her support to NEMA in discharging its duties for the benefit of Nigerians.

While other states got 1800\ 600 = 3 trailers

What will I even call this, wickedness or what? People in ogun have been locked down from day one. We didn't see anything nawaoooo.

This act is beyond politics. This is pure evil.

Just see how glaring it is that this government is biased...

while OYO and Ondo got 18,000 rotten bags of rice


Government of the north

NaijaRoyalty:
while OYO and Ondo got 18,000 rotten bags of rice

You are wrong only 1800

What did Abia got ?

That's good.
Pride of the north has been compensated.
Kudos to Mr president.

These are aside the palliatives Aisha gave them o, nothing bad though. But we pray to have in the future a southern president that'll be sympathetic to southerners like Buhari is doing to his people in the North.

Huuumm na wa oooooo. They don't even bother hiding their nepotism again

One Nigeria ko
Two Nigeria ni

Just an innocent question

They all got

Why are they keeping quiet

I didn’t asked to spite or anything

Just to know

sarrki:

answer my question .

Hope not audio and certified fit for human consumption?

It's shameful but present situation left me with no other option. Help a stranded father and his family at this point. We managed to survive today by the little we got from people. We don't know where help will come our way for the next meal. Just anything to help us survive in few days. God bless you.

Channels TV earlier this week reported that lagos ,rivers,fct and kano will get 10 trucks while other states will get 3 or 4

But brother the 110 trucks is just too much compared to what other states got

The disparity is just too much

Our darling President in action

Why should they make it a national news if they receive any bag of rice?

Most people are not interested in media propaganda and should be allowed to be.

FG sent rice to SW, what your leaders need is to sort out modalities on how to distribute not asking how many others received?

Kano will surely get the best palliatives. E get Why..

Meanwhile..A TRUE GIRLFRIEND IS MEANT TO WAKE UP BY 12am MIDNIGHT AND PRAY FOR THE BOYFRIEND TILL 6:30AM...

You really need to ask those and others like us who had way back benefitted from politics how the game works...not this your charade on nairaland which I laugh over it sometimes.

Unless you will become nairaland APC member forever.

100 trucks is for other palliatives like the grains buhari released from the national reserves.then the ten trucks of rice.other states will get or have already gotten theirs.its just unfortunate that the media is reporting that of kano first or you stumbled on them thereby putting them on the chopping board on social media.
Remember the 20k distribution started in fct? But it later moved to other states.the minister has given all south west states their own share of rice and palliatives from the national reserve,but the focus was in rice and not the other palliatives. Plus the spoilt rice controversy from oyo and ondo overshadowed every other attendant news.so relax.I hope I didn't waste my time

Not only that Kano should be given a special fund of about 15 to 20 billion.

Nepotism is still a recurrent factor.

When they say Grain, which produce do they mean? Millet and co?

This is much.
Anyway, i don't think the Kano State Government should ask the Federal Government of any palliatives again based on this deliveries.
I believe this palliative would sustain them for a very long period of time.
I pray we get over this pandemic soon.

You fit the word 'charade' itself.what concerns my comment with the rubbish you wrote in my mention? Are you OK? Keeping quiet when you have nothing to say is top class maturity and you succeeded in saying nothing.by the way,not everybody practises politics of materialism like you

Osagyefo98:



There is nothing like southern president or south.

What we have is simply North, west and south...


Yorubas didn't fall anywhere in South.

Bad student of geography everywhere.

You keep disgracing yourself with this nonsense.

There are four main cardinal points one can use a compass to locate on a map which are North, South, West and East.

So what is the location of an area just north of a sea?

As long as there is no land before Yoruba land and sea in the Nigerian map. Yoruba land is in the south of Nigeria.
