The removal of fuel subsidies across Nigeria undoubtedly created economic challenges for the masses. However, Governor Yusuf’s administration has stepped in to mitigate the impact on the people of Kano.

This vision aims to reduce the state’s dependence on federal allocations and promote self-sufficiency.
A Bounty of Assistance
The scale of assistance provided by the Kano State government is truly impressive. A staggering total of 297,000 bags of 10kg rice and 160,000 bags of 10kg maize will be distributed across the 484 wards that make up the state. Each ward will receive 565 bags of 10kg rice and 330 bags of 10kg maize. This substantial allocation ensures that a significant portion of the state’s population will directly benefit from this initiative.
Ensuring Fair and Effective Distribution

This meticulous approach demonstrates the government’s determination to leave no room for mismanagement or misappropriation.
Alleviating the Plight of the Masses
Speaking about the distribution of interventions, Governor Yusuf emphasized, “This distribution of interventions is to help people, especially the vulnerable, to find succor in these trying times. We are acutely aware of the difficult situations that many of our citizens are currently enduring. We believe that this gesture will not only cushion the effects of subsidy removal but also ameliorate the harsh economic conditions faced by many. Moreover, it will fortify our ongoing battle against poverty within the state.”
