Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, has flagged off the distribution of 90,000 bags of assorted grains to vulnerable households across the state’s 34 Local Government Areas, describing the intervention as part of efforts to cushion the effects of economic hardship and strengthen food security.
The ceremony was held in Kaita LGA of the state on Wednesday, where he directed officials and stakeholders involved in the exercise to ensure that the grains reach the intended beneficiaries without discrimination or diversion.
He said the intervention was designed to provide immediate relief to vulnerable families while complementing his administration’s long-term investments in agriculture and other sectors aimed at reducing food insecurity.
“Our philosophy has remained clear: development must reach the grassroots, and the people must feel the presence and impact of government in their communities and daily lives,” he said.
