Adamawa State Governor, Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has received the Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Bernard Mohammed Doro, at the Government House in Yola for the official flag-off of the Presidential Food and Nutrition Intervention Programme in the state.
The programme, initiated by the Federal Government, is designed to address food insecurity and improve nutrition among vulnerable populations, particularly children and low-income households across the country.
Governor Fintiri described the intervention as timely, noting that support from the Federal Government is critical in strengthening efforts to cushion the effects of economic hardship on citizens.
He assured that the Adamawa State Government will ensure transparency and accountability in the distribution process so that the intended beneficiaries, especially vulnerable children and families, receive the support.
The governor also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to partnering with the Federal Government and relevant stakeholders to implement programmes that improve the welfare and living conditions of the people of Adamawa State.
The visit and flag-off ceremony mark another step in the ongoing collaboration between the federal and state governments to tackle poverty and food insecurity across the country.
