Danmalam highlighted that this distribution aligns with the ongoing efforts of the Gombe State Government to provide essential food supplies to its citizens. Previously, the state had distributed assorted food items across all 11 Local Government Areas, with the supplies provided by the Federal Government and the North-East Development Commission. These efforts are intended to mitigate the severe food shortages affecting the region.
Governor Yahaya’s administration has consistently offered palliatives to vulnerable groups, religious organizations, and civil society organizations. The governor assured that further distributions are planned and urged the leadership of the security agencies to ensure that the food items are distributed equitably among their personnel.
