Ramadan: Katsina Govt Doles Out N10bn Grain Subsidy For 400,000 Households

The Katsina State government said it has earmarked N10 billion for the procurement of grains to cushion the widening hardship being faced by vulnerable families during Ramadan.

 

This was made known in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Katsina state governor, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed during the inauguration of committees to oversee the distribution of the grains.

 

While noting that grain purchases would be capped at ten measures per person to ensure fairness, the statement added that the effort was to subsidize the prices of maize, millet, and guinea corn to N20,000 per bag, significantly lower than current market rates.

 

Governor Radda stated that about 400,000 households would benefit from subsidized food while 33,000 elderly and vulnerable families would also receive complimentary food items and cash donations.

 

He also directed local committees to remit proceeds from grain sales to the state committee for deposit into government accounts.

 

Meanwhile, Mallam Khalil Musa Kofar Bai was named the committee chairman as other members of the committee are drawn from various councils and organizations.
