The Federal Government of Nigeria has completed the distribution of 20 trucks of rice to each of the 36 state governments and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to support the most vulnerable persons and mitigate the impact of hunger in the country.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed this on Monday after the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting chaired by President Bola Tinubu.
Idris said, “Council deliberated extensively on food supply and shortage of food in the country, so 20 trucks of rice have already been distributed to each state across the country, including the FCT.”
He emphasized that the Federal Government decided on this measure as a first step to alleviate the hardship faced by Nigerians, ensuring that the food relief would be directed to the most vulnerable members of society.
