The Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has flagged off the distribution of 54,600 bags of rice to support vulnerable residents ahead of and during the holy month of Ramadan.
Speaking at the official launch ceremony in Kano, the governor said the initiative forms part of his administration’s commitment to easing the economic burden on citizens, particularly amid rising food prices and hardship.
Yusuf explained that the rice would be distributed across the 44 local government areas of the state, targeting the less privileged, widows, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups. He noted that Ramadan is a period of sacrifice, compassion, and charity, and urged community leaders to ensure fairness and transparency in the distribution process.
