Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has voiced his
disappointment over the conduct of the ongoing Ramadan Feeding program in the
Kano metropolis accusing handlers of siphoning food.
This was contained in a statement signed by his
spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, on Friday.
The governor expressed his dismay during an impromptu visit
to one of the feeding centres in Gidan Maza, Municipal Local Government Area.
During his inspection, Governor Yusuf conveyed his dissatisfaction with the conduct of the program handlers, accusing them of depriving the intended beneficiaries.
He emphasized the importance of transparency and
accountability, stating, “We will not accept dishonesty and mismanagement of
public resources.”
His impromptu inspection was prompted by intelligence
reports suggesting deficiencies in the management of the feeding program at
various centres across the metropolis.
The Governor’s proactive approach underscores the
government’s commitment to ensuring the effective implementation of social
welfare programs during the holy month of Ramadan.
Recall that the Kano State government has budgeted N6b for
the 2024 Ramadan feeding programme across the 44 local government areas of the
state.
