Governor Sule reassured citizens that his government was dedicated to alleviating the struggle of the Nassarawa residents.
“Today’s event is therefore in furtherance of our commitment to continue to provide succour to the vulnerable households and the poorest across the nooks and crannies of the State”.
“It is important to note that these food items are to be shared to the poorest of the poor who have no source of income to cater for their daily needs. In this wise, salary earners, businessmen and other privileged people are exempted from this intervention”, he added.
