To ease the economic strain on Nigerians, President Bola Tinubu has announced plans to distribute rice and fertilizer in Nasarawa State on 31st August 2024.

The Minister of State for Police Affairs, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, who represents Nasarawa State in the Federal Executive Council, praised the President for the gesture, noting that the palliative measures aim to alleviate the impact of current economic challenges on the people.

She added that President Tinubu’s administration is committed to bringing prosperity to Nigerians and ensuring that the needs of ordinary citizens are addressed.

“The palliatives will be distributed through a transparent and equitable process, ensuring they reach those who need them most,” Sulaiman-Ibrahim stated.
