Kano State Allocates N8 Billion for Ramadan Feeding Program
The Kano State government has allocated N8 billion for its annual Ramadan feeding program, aiming to support residents during the Islamic holy month. The initiative, designed to provide meals to the less privileged and fasting Muslims, underscores the administration’s commitment to social welfare and food security.
According to state officials, the funds will be used to distribute meals across various locations in Kano, ensuring that low-income families, orphans, and vulnerable individuals have access to nutritious food throughout Ramadan. The government emphasized that the program aligns with its broader goal of reducing hunger and supporting religious observances.
While the initiative has been widely welcomed, it has also sparked discussions about budgetary priorities and financial transparency. Critics argue that such a large allocation should be carefully monitored to prevent mismanagement and ensure that the intended beneficiaries receive adequate support.
As Kano prepares for Ramadan, the N8 billion feeding program highlights the state’s commitment to community welfare, reinforcing the significance of social assistance programs during the fasting period. However, public scrutiny remains high, with calls for accountability in the distribution process.
