Gov. Umo Eno of Akwa lbom has inaugurated the Board of the State’s Bulk Purchasing Agency.
The Commissioners in the Ministries of Economic Development; Agriculture; Justice; and Internal Security are members of the board.
He added that it was also to avail the needy and most vulnerable in the State with staple food items at no cost, considering the tough economic conditions across the nation. “This is our bold and compassionate intervention at this critical moment when the prices of our staple food items such as rice, beans and garri have soared beyond the immediate reach of the poor and most vulnerable,” Eno said.
“There is no better way to manage the food distribution programme than the use of the social register, so we can be accountable and transparent,” he said.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
