Funding from Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has enabled the launch in Bodinga, Sokoto State, of the sale of essential food at subsidised prices. Governor Aliyu describes the initiative as support for rural residents and the lowest-paid civil servants, according to Vanguard News.
Sokoto State Governor Ahmed Aliyu says Nigerian states now have greater financial resources under Bola Tinubu’s presidency. He believes this improvement enables them to fund development projects, maintain social assistance and better meet the needs of the population, according to a statement reported by Nigerian daily The Guardian.
Ahmed Aliyu was speaking in Bodinga, in Sokoto State, at the launch of the sale of essential food commodities at subsidised prices. The initiative aims to ease the burden of the rising cost of living for people in rural areas and junior civil servants, according to the governor.
