NEMA DISTRIBUTES 1,528 METRIC TONNES OF GRAINS TO JIGAWA
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has delivered 1,528.2 metric tonnes of assorted grains to support the locals in Jigawa State.
In a statement posted on X.com on Monday, the agency noted that the distribution was approved by President Bola Tinubu and managed by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security.
The grains are for allocation to vulnerable Nigerians across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
According to the statement, this distribution is from the 42,000 metric tonnes of assorted food commodities from the National Strategic Reserve.
The statement partly read, “Today, in a significant step towards fulfilling this promise, the National Emergency Management Agency is overseeing the handover of Jigawa State’s allocated share of these commodities.

The initiative follows an announcement by the Federal Government that it would distribute 42,000 metric tonnes of grains at no cost to cushion the food crisis in the country.
