Ramadan: Jigawa govt warns food vendors against diversion of meals
The Jigawa state government has warned food vendors against diversion of meals under the Ramadan feeding scheme or face sanction.
This is contained in a statement by the commissioner for special duties, Auwal Sankara, on Wednesday in Dutse.
He said the government received reports indicating insufficient distribution of the approved quantity and quality of meals in 17 centres across the state.
“As the commissioner overseeing the free feeding project, I warn the vendors concerned to meet up to the set arrangements or risk sanction.
“On behalf of the government, I wish to further warn the vendors to be God-fearing and bear in mind that we have secret monitors watching over the project,” he said.
He urged stakeholders to fulfil the obligations expected of them to facilitate effective implementation of the project.
Jigawa government has disbursed N4.8 billion to designated feeding centres to fast-track implementation of the 2025 Ramadan feeding scheme.
