The Tinubu Stakeholders Forum (TSF) has commended the Federal Government for its proactive measures in addressing the critical issue of food shortage across Nigeria.
In a statement signed by its Chairman Ahmad Sajoh and Secretary Afolabi Josiah on Sunday in Abuja, the group said the measures including the dispatch of trailer loads of food supplies to states are a reflection of the administration commitment to the welfare of Nigerians.
“This initiative of dispatching 20 trailer loads of 25kg bags of rice to each of the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) through state governments underscores the Tinubu administration’s commitment to alleviating hardship among the most vulnerable members of society.
“We see the distribution of these rice supplies to the states as a laudable effort to ensure equitable access and support for those in need.
“We at TSF recognise, acknowledge, and support this additional step taken by the government to bolster food security measures and express hope that the subnational governments will ensure that the supplies get to those they are meant for.
“We are encouraged by the knowledge that this effort by the Tinubu administration is not a standalone one as it supplements existing government strategies aimed at enhancing food security nationwide
“So for us, President Bola Tinubu, has demonstrated an unwavering dedication to safeguarding the welfare of all Nigerians, particularly during challenging times, the TSF affirmed.
