As part of efforts to cushion the hardship induced by the removal of fuel subsidy and increase in the pump price of petrol, the Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has ordered all the 34 local government Chairmen to purchase grains as palliatives for immediate distribution in their areas.

He explained that the 34 Local Government Areas will purchase 36,100 bags of maize each using their monthly allocations from the Federation Account.

Radda said the State Government will also order extra consignments of rice, maize and fertilizer from the Federal Government, for distribution to people and farmers in the State.

According to him, “we are taking this progressive action to assiduously cushion the hardship of our people which was induced by the removal of the subsidy on petroleum products and fuel price hike.

Radda noted that his administration is determined to better the lot of Katsina people and solicited for the support of all and sundry towards fulfilling his campaign promises.
