Gov Abdullahi Sule
Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule has stated that the distribution of food items and cash as palliative is important to alleviate the suffering of the citizens.
The governor stated that even though he does not believe in the palliative care concept, immediate hunger must be addressed while also focusing on sustainable solutions for self-reliance.
In an interview on Channels Television on Wednesday, Sule emphasized that the country’s current economic situation demands the provision of palliatives, especially during the Holy month of Ramadan and Lent.
The governor stated that providing skill training and working capital to graduates and farmers to start their businesses is one sustainable solution for self-reliance.
He also noted plans to collaborate with institutions like the Bank of Industry to offer more opportunities to youths.
Governor Sule reiterated his belief in teaching people how to fish rather than giving them fish, emphasizing the need for self-reliance.
