In an effort to provide free food to the needy during the Ramadam period, the Kano State Government have budgetted over N220 million.
Revealing this, the Chairman of the committee on Ramadan Free Feeding Programme, Alhaji Usman Bala, told News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Kano that the government had concluded all arrangements to commence the programme on Thursday, June 18.
He said the government of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had increased the number of feeding centres from 120 to 175 across the state, pointing out that the centres had since been provided with the required food items.
“Food items including rice, beans, millet, flour, cooking oil among others have been provided at each of the centres. Each centre will have a five-man coordinating committee in addition to six cooks who will be preparing the meal.
“We also engaged the services of some sanitary inspectors who will always ensure that the environment is clean and tidy,” he said.
Bala emphasised that the programme is aimed at assisting the less privileged during the Ramadan period.
