Sen. Barau launches distribution of FG’s palliatives for North West
The Deputy President of the Senate, Sen. Barau Jibrin on Sunday launched the distribution of the Federal Government palliatives for the North West.
Speaking at the ceremony in Kano, Barau urged Nigerians to rally round President Bola Tinubu in his efforts to address the nations socio-economic challenges.
He said that the current hardships being experienced in the country was a global problem and therefore,not peculiar to Nigeria.
He said usually,if a country anywhere in the world was going through difficult times,the citizens rally round their leaders to enable them to address them.
This,the lawmaker said, why Nigerians should support and cooperate with Tinubu to enable him navigate the nation out of its current challenges.
He said part of the efforts of the Tinubu administration to address the problems, was the distribution of palliatives to the less privileged made up of assorted grains including rice.
He said because of the irregularities observed in the distribution of the presidential palliatives around the country in the past,the Federal Government decided to re-strategize by constituting committees to undertake the exercise to ensure equitable distribution of the foodstuff.
Barau said as the Chairman of the Palliatives Distribution Committee for the sub-region,he would ensure equitable sharing of the commodities.
