Borno distributes foodstuffs to 23,000 households

About 23,000 households in Baga, Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State have received food palliatives in line with President Bola Tinubu’s agenda of ensuring food security across the country.

“Distribution of palliatives is one of the agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Governor Babagana Zulum said while distributing the food and non-food items to the beneficiaries.

“He (Tinubu) has declared an emergency on food security, and in line with this objective, Borno State Government is distributing food items to communities.

“We have provided food and non-food items to over 20,000 men and women (today),” Zulum said.

The Monday food distribution in Baga reached 13,000 households in Baga town itself, 3,500 at Cross Kauwa, a town near Baga, and 6,500 in Doro Baga, another community, totalling 23,000 households, according to the government.

Each of the 23,000 households received bags of rice, spaghetti and maize grain with women getting a wrapper each.
