In response to the prevailing hardship in Nigeria, the Federal Government has announced plans to commence the distribution of grains nationwide, aiming to alleviate the impacts of economic challenges facing citizens across the country.

Senator Abubakar Kyari, the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, made the announcement on Monday, underscoring the government’s commitment to addressing the pressing needs of Nigerians amidst trying times.

Through his official communication channel, Senator Kyari extended heartfelt compassion to those affected by the hardships, particularly referencing the recent unfortunate incidents of foodstuff warehouse looting.

“Dear Fellow Nigerians,” he wrote on his official X handle. “In these trying times, I extend my sincere compassion to those affected by the hardships in the country. I understand the gravity of the situation, especially with the unfortunate event of foodstuff warehouse looting.

“Amidst these challenges, I want to assure you that our commitment to your well-being remains resolute. We shall commence the distribution of 42,000 metric tons of grains, as approved by Mr. President, across the 36 states of the federation as one of the programs to be rolled out this week.

“We are working hand in hand with NEMA and the DSS to ensure that the grains get to the right people in the right packages and quantities. Furthermore, 58,500 metric tons of milled rice from mega rice millers will also be released into the market for stabilization.”

Senator Kyari commended the resilience of the Nigerian people in the face of adversity, urging citizens to rally behind President Tinubu’s government in its commitment to addressing national challenges and fostering a more secure and prosperous future for all.

“I acknowledge the strength of the Nigerian people, and it is this resilience that will guide us through these difficult times. Let us stand together to support Mr. President in his strive for a better Nigeria,” Kyari said.

“Our government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is committed to addressing these challenges and working towards a more secure and prosperous future for all.”

Amid protests and widespread concerns over economic hardships following the removal of fuel subsidy and the floating of the naira, the Federal Government has called on everyone to be patient stressing on the importance of the transformative potential of ongoing reforms initiated by the Tinubu-led administration.
