Kano govt flags off Ramadan feeding for 91,000 Muslims daily
The Kano government has arranged to feed 91,000 people in 91 designated centres during the 2025 Ramadan feeding programme.
Flagging off the feeding programme in Fagge LGA on Sunday evening, the deputy governor and chairman of the programme, Aminu Abdulsalam, said the initiative would run for 27 days.
He said the programme was aimed at supporting vulnerable residents and would provide daily iftar meals to fasting Muslims, alleviating the challenges faced during Ramadan.
“Since the assumption of office, Governor Abba Kabir-Yusuf has institutionalised this initiative to support vulnerable residents by providing daily iftar meals during the holy month of Ramadan.
“The programme, which is part of the state’s annual humanitarian efforts, aims to alleviate the difficulties faced by fasting Muslims during Ramadan.
“Recognising the needs of the state’s large population of Ramadan observers, the Kano State Government remains committed to ensuring that relief reaches those in need,” he explained.
Mr Abdulsalam expressed satisfaction with the seamless commencement of the initiative.
He further urged the catering companies involved to ensure prompt and efficient delivery of meals to all feeding centres in order to achieve the programme’s objectives.
Mr Abdulsalam was accompanied by key officials, including the commissioner for information and internal affairs, Ibrahim Waiya, as well as his counterpart in the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Tijjani Auwal.
