has commenced the distribution of 12,000 bags of rice and maize to vulnerable households across the six Area Councils of the FCT.
“This includes Area Councils, representatives of 17 Chiefdoms, religious organisations, civil servants, and vulnerable groups. “Under this phase of the distribution, we are bringing the items closer to the people, ensuring direct outreach to the vulnerable groups, taking place simultaneously in all the six Area Councils of the FCT.”He advised them against selling the items.According to him, the initiative was an integral part of the Federal Government’s approach to mitigate the effects of the removal of fuel subsidy which unfortunately has resulted in increased food market prices.
Sabo noted that his Council was known for integrity and honesty, believing that he would give an account of his stewardship to God one day.He expressed gratitude to President Tinubu and Wike for the items, decrying that though Kuje boasts of the largest landmass in the FCT, it could not reap its agricultural potential due to insecurity which continues to bedevil the Council.
