Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has also countered the federal government claim of distributing 20 trucks of assorted grains to states for onward distribution to the needy.
WikkiTimes reports that Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has earlier said that the state is yet to receive its allocated share of the Federal Government’s grains.
Recalls that the minister of information, Mohammed idris, had last week announced the disbursement of 20 trucks of rice to each of the 36 states for free distribution to citizens to alleviate the current hardship.
Gov. Yahaya, in a statement issued by his director general press affairs, Ismailla Uba Misilli on Tuesday, said the Governor disclosed this while addressing members of civil society organizations, organized labor, and the Amalgamated Unions of Traders.
According to him, the delay over the delivery of the rice is concerning. He added that ahead of the planned protest, civil societies are expected to uphold peace and stability in the state.Â
The Governor also reiterated the importance of peaceful and orderly conduct, acknowledging the role of civil society organizations, labor unions, and traders in maintaining social stability and economic resilience.
