Governor Dikko Radda of Katsina State has inaugurated the distribution of palliatives to 1, 814 vulnerables in Katsina North Senatorial District to cushion the effects of subsidy removal.
The governor, who kick-started the distribution on Tuesday in Daura said that he decided to be part of the exercise in order to ensure equity and justice.
He said, ”Since the items are meant for them, they must be distributed to the most vulnerable like widows, orphans, aged and physically-challenged persons, among others, who could hardly afford two meals per day.”
Radda recalled that similar programme was conducted in Funtua for the beneficiaries in the Katsina South Senatorial District last month
The governor said, “I am determined to reach out to the most vulnerable by all means to bring succour to them,” he stressed.
He, therefore, urged the beneficiaries to utilise the items for the betterment of their families.
One of the beneficiaries, Malam Ibrahim Audu, commended Radda’s kind gesture, explaining that it would assist to improve the living condition of the beneficiaries.
He urged the governor to replicate similar programmes in all the local government areas with a view to enhancing their living conditions.
Each beneficiary received N10, 000 and one bag of 50kg rice.
