According to Babagana Zulum, the governor of Borno State, no government can feed all of its citizens.
The governor made this statement on Monday while overseeing the delivery of food products to 18,000 household heads in the Damboa Local Government Area.
Zulum added that in order to lessen the impact of hardship on the state, his government has identified and chosen the most vulnerable persons to be the recipients of the subsidy removal palliatives.
“I want you to take note that it is never feasible for any government, be it the federal government, state or local government, to provide food items to its entire communities.
“Following this, we have selected the most vulnerable persons across all local governments to help cushion the effect of hardship, Gwoza and Damboa in southern Borno are greatly affected by food shortage, and in Northern part, almost all the LGAs are experiencing food shortage apart from Kaga, Magumeri and Gubio, while in central, MMC and Jere have less of the hit,” he said.
