The Federal Government is set to initiate a nationwide distribution of grains as a strategic measure to alleviate the prevailing hardships in Nigeria, according to a statement made by Senator Abubakar Kyari, the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, on Monday.
Commending the resilience of the Nigerian people, Minister Kyari urged citizens to support President Bola Tinubu’s administration in its efforts to tackle the various challenges confronting the nation.
This distribution of grains is a pivotal component of the government’s broader strategy to mitigate the widespread difficulties faced by the populace.
The current economic landscape, marked by the removal of fuel subsidy and the floating of the naira, has led to an unprecedented surge in the cost of living across Nigeria.
Consequently, protests have erupted in various regions as citizens voice their concerns and call for government intervention.
Instances of looting have been reported, with warehouses and food trucks becoming targets in some areas.
Despite the upheaval, the Federal Government is appealing for patience, assuring the public that the ongoing reforms under the Tinubu-led administration are anticipated to yield positive outcomes in addressing the prevailing economic challenges.
