Following the declaration of the State of Emergency on Food Security by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has initiated strategies to key into the programme of subsidized basic food commodities in the Territory.
This decision was taken in an emergency meeting of the management of the FCT Administration chaired by the FCT Permanent Secretary, Mr. Olusade Adesola, in Abuja Nigeria’s capital.
The Permanent Secretary revealed that in consonance with the Presidential declaration, the FCT Administration has immediately keyed into the laudable programme to bring succour to the ordinary residents of the Federal Capital Territory.
Adesola disclosed that the Federal Government had made provision for 150,000 metric tons of maize and 4,496,533 bags of fertilizer for distribution to all states and FCT to help address the concerns around food insecurity in the country.
According to him, the FCT Administration has already set a committee to flag-off the scheme to jump start the Federal Government’s efforts in reducing hardship on the populace.
His words: “The Administration will surely work to make the robust impact on the lives of the ordinary residents of the Federal Capital Territory in line with the vision of President Tinubu.”
