In a significant move to support citizens during the holy month of Ramadan, the Kano State Government has announced a budget of N8 billion for its Ramadan Feeding Program.
The revelation was made through the official X (formerly Twitter) handle of Nigerian Stories, drawing widespread reactions from the public. This initiative aims to provide free meals to thousands of fasting Muslims across the state, ensuring that vulnerable and low-income individuals have access to nutritious food during the sacred period.
While the government has yet to provide a detailed breakdown of the spending, sources suggest that funds will be directed towards food procurement, logistics, and distribution at designated feeding centers across Kano’s 44 local government areas.
The announcement has sparked mixed reactions, with supporters hailing the initiative as a compassionate gesture to ease the economic burden on residents, while critics question the transparency and sustainability of such an expenditure.
As Ramadan approaches, all eyes will be on the Kano State Government to see how effectively this ambitious program is implemented.
