The Sokoto State government on Monday said it would spend N6.7 billion on its Ramadan feeding programme.

The programme includes the distribution of grains and the provision of meals at feeding centres.

Governor Ahmed Aliyu disclosed this during the flag-off of grain distribution to 18,400 orphans and the destitute across the state.

He said each of the 18,400 orphans and the destitute would receive bags of rice and millet with N5000 cash.

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, thanked the state government for sustaining the Ramadan feeding programme.

The monarch assured the governor of his support in his efforts to improve the people’s living conditions.

He called on the wealthy people to show compassion to the needy.

Good development

Nigeria has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

How can a state like sokoto spend that much to feed people when they can easily use that to fix water problem, build classroom, hospitals and provide other basic amenities.

If all these nonsense continues, nigeroa will never develop.

A state spending 6.7BN on feeding as if the citizens have not been eating before...Only God knows how much they will spend on pilgrimage.

TREMENDOUSLY misguided expenditure that'll still end up being looted.

That's during a fast o. I wonder what they will do when not in fast.

Only God knew how we interpret this religion of a thing in this country

Imagine a very poor state like sokoto spending this much on feeding

Nigeria will continue to be a very poor country with leaders such as ours

How much will be looted??

Misplaced priority...they know that tinupoo is a disaster that's why they're moving rogue

These are some of the reasons why we need to restructure this country. Because governors always get free cash from Abuja every month, they spend that money carelessly.

Can that governor bring out over #500 million of his hard-earned money to waste on feeding people because of one celebration with no economic value?

Why aren't the leaders of Northern Nigeria enlightening their people to start having kids they can only cater for? Why should the state be feeding people instead of channelling the money into economically valuable projects?

So they have not distributed the grains yet?

The real reason for one Nigeria

For how many years? Hope not for a month sha

Wow...

Only 6 billion?

Na the whole africa dem want feed?

Werrey people

The hypocrites and woke beings condemning this gesture are simply stewpid. It is not an aberration for any Government to feed its poor population especially during a sacred Month like Ramadan.

What you should complain of is implementation and budget inflation. Stop being unnecessarily woke please.

Na their way

Good development

Development you called this?

As usual. No industries, just a few children in school and they will continue to eat themselves into poverty. What a country!

Sokoto is blessed. Their indigenes eat food better than those entitled people shouting Ebi n pawa ooo every now and then.

Tuale the Caliphate headquarter.

Others spend on Churches. Stop telling people what to do with thier Money

Even inside Ramadan they are still inflating the money spent as usual.

After Ramadan, default setting.

you have to wait till Ramadan to do this?

I'm very sure I have never heard of any Southern state using or claiming to need billions to feed kids during Lent (fasting)...!

The only difference between corruption under APC and under PDP is the style and approach.

PDP stole and misappropriated funds secretly, leaving citizens to find out from whistle blowers.

APC, on the other hand, don't even bother hiding a damn thing... They do what they like with the sure knowledge that the suffering masses will be too divided to raise a fuss.

To feed the poor

To feed the poor
Na normal tradition for those places

But they spend them on Churches?? What difference does it make. Stop the hypocrisy please.

The only reason to complain is Inflated figures for it is Very Right to feed the poor.
