It is never feasible for any government to provide food items to its entire community – Zulum

Babagana Zulum, the Governor of Borno State, emphasized that it’s not feasible for any government to supply food to every single community. He made this point during his oversight of the food distribution process to 18,000 households in the Damboa Local Government Area on Monday.

Zulum pointed out that his administration has recognized and chosen the most disadvantaged individuals to receive the relief assistance resulting from the removal of subsidies. This measure aims to alleviate the impact of the challenges faced in the state.

“I want you to take note that it is never feasible for any government, be it the federal government, state or local government, to provide food items to its entire communities.

“Following this, we have selected the most vulnerable persons across all local governments to help cushion the effect of hardship, Gwoza and Damboa in southern Borno are greatly affected by food shortage, and in Northern part, almost all the LGAs are experiencing food shortage apart from Kaga, Magumeri and Gubio, while in central, MMC and Jere have less of the hit,” he said.
