Kano State Government has earmarked 550 million naira for the free feeding program during the Ramadan period.
Acting Governor Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna stated this while flagging-off the program at the premises of Kano Printing Press for the 140 centres across the 8 metropolitan local governments.
He said the purpose of the program which has been a tradition and sustained since 2015 by the Governor Ganduje administration is to “reduce hardship faced by the less privileged so as to enable them conduct Ramadan fasting with comfort and ease.”
He also called on members of the Ramadan free feeding committee to discharge their duties judiciously.
Speaking on behalf of the members of the committee, Commissioner for Local Government, Alh.Murtala Sule Garo assured that they would “ensure regular supervision of the program across the 140 centres of the 8 metropolitan local governments.”
