Buni hails Tinubu on palliative

By Muhammad Maitela, Damaturu

Yobe state Gov. Hon. Mai Mala Buni has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for complementing the efforts of the state government with grains palliative for distribution to people across the state.
He stated this yesterday in Damaturu at the flagg-off ceremomy of the distribution of the federal government Strategic Grains Reserve Palliative programme.
He said the programme captured the weak, old, People Living with Disabilities, orphans, widows, and other vulnerable persons in the state.
“It is gratifying that the federal government under the able leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is complementing the efforts of the state government through the Strategic Grain Reserve programme with 21,000 bags of assorted grains made up of Maize, Millet and Sorghum for distribution to individuals across the state.
“This would provide succour and make life easy for this group in the face of the global economic hardships in which Nigeria and Yobe state are no exception.
“You will recall that about a month ago, we launched the distribution of 50,000 bags of assorted grains targeting 120,000 vulnerable households across the 17 local government areas to provide food to those who are actually in need.
“Our government had before then provided several interventions with a fair and transparent distribution to eligible beneficiaries.
“The citizens’ welfare no doubt occupies a primary position on the priority list of this administration, and this explains the continuous interventions by the government to ensure that food is made available to the less privileged and vulnerable persons,” Buni said.
