Governor of Sokoto State Ahmed Aliyu

The Sokoto State Governor, Ahmed Aliyu, has said states across the country are now receiving increased funding from the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Aliyu stated this on Wednesday in Bodinga Local Government Area of Sokoto State while flagging off the sale of food items at subsidised rates to rural residents and junior civil servants.

The initiative, according to the governor, is aimed at cushioning the effects of economic hardship by making essential food commodities available to vulnerable residents at affordable prices.

He attributed his administration’s ability to implement developmental projects and provide palliatives to what he described as improved funding accruing to states from the Federal Government.
