Tinubu dissatisfied with previous palliative distribution – Deputy Senate President

…Kano to get 70 trucks of FG’s subsidized rice – Kyari

The Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin on Sunday said President Bola Tinubu has expressed dissatisfaction with the previous palliative distribution to the needy in the country to ease hardship.

This was as he said this informed the President’s decision to reconstitute a committee for the distribution of the palliatives in order to get to the needy.

Senator Barau stated this while flagging off the distribution of the Federal Government’s palliatives to the needy in the North West Geo-political zone in Kano.

He called on Nigerians to rally round the President to fix the country as this is not time for blame game.

He said the President is working round the clock to come up with policies to revamp the economy in order to bring succour to the people.

According to him, “The President has done well by giving out palliative. But the problem was that, the palliative supports were not fairly distributed that is why the President reconstituted this distribution committee.

“We are here to distribute the palliative in an equitable manner and we are out to distribute the palliative down to the grassroot level,” Senator Barau stated.

Earlier, the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari said the Federal government has earlier given 90 trucks of food stuffs and additional 20 trucks in Kano State but was not properly distributed.

Kyari said for the current distribution a total of 19.3 trucks amounting to 23,644 bags of rice (25kg) were given to Kano for onward distribution to the needy.
