Residents in Kaduna, Kano, and Katsina States have expressed their discontent over not receiving rice donations from the Federal Government meant to alleviate food insecurity. The government had distributed 20 trucks of rice to each state in an effort to enhance food security and reduce the impact of rising food prices in the country.
However, some residents claimed they have not benefited from the rice donations, with reports of limited distribution and allegations of bias in the selection of beneficiaries. The distribution of relief items in Kaduna, Kano, and Katsina States has raised concerns about transparency and effectiveness in reaching vulnerable individuals.
While efforts are being made to ensure fair distribution of the rice donations, many residents continue to struggle with food shortages and inadequate support. The state and local governments are urged to prioritize transparency and inclusivity in the distribution process to address the ongoing food crisis effectively.
