Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has warned that the government would deal ruthlessly with anybody with acts of sabotage or diversion of relief materials.
The governor gave the warning today while launching the flag-off of the distribution of palliatives to vulnerable persons across the 17 local government areas of the state at the Government House, Damaturu.
He said, “This administration has provided numerous interventions through the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), and I have received favorable feedback from the previous distribution exercises through direct and indirect monitoring mechanisms.
“The distribution is massive, targeting 120,000 vulnerable households to cushion the effects of the economic hardship and to provide food to the vulnerable and others who are actually in need.” Buni said.
According to him, “we have procured over 50,000 bags of assorted food items, including rice, maize, millet, and sorghum, for distribution in the 17 local government areas in the state.
He pointed out that the distribution process is designed through a cluster of representatives of people living with disabilities, mosques, churches, orphanages, IDPs, and other vulnerable groups selected across the 178 wards.
Governor Buni commends the federal government through the NG-Cares, the North East Development Commission (NEDC), the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), and all other partners for complementing and supporting our effort towards providing relief to the citizenry.
He directed the State Emergency Management Agency to work closely with the security agencies to ensure safe transportation and distribution of the materials to the targeted beneficiaries.
Governor Buni also directed the local government committees to ensure transparency and accountability, with priority given to people living with disabilities, the weak and elderly, nursing and expectant mothers, retirees, and low-level civil servants.
“Government will continue to support individuals and communities not only with immediate relief but also to empower our citizens to overcome challenges and drive the state towards sustainable development and food security.” he added.
