Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Ododo, has declared that no citizen of the state should go to bed hungry under his watch.
Ododo made the declaration at the official flag off of the Renewed Hope Initiative Food Outreach Programme in Lokoja, the state capital, on Monday.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to food security, emphasizing that the state will not only support the Federal Government’s intervention but also expand its own quarterly food distribution programme to reach more vulnerable households in the state.
“Under our watch, no Kogi citizen should go to bed hungry,” the governor said, adding that this Food Outreach programme of the Renewed Hope Initiative is a timely and compassionate intervention that aligns with the vision of the state government to uplift citizens struggling with economic hardship.
He urged Nigerians to rally behind President Bola Tinubu’s administration, assuring all that the state remains fully aligned with the Federal Government’s economic recovery and social welfare programmes.
On her part, wife of the Vice President, Nana Shettima, who represented the First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, at the event, emphasized the need for the food items to reach the intended beneficiaries.
She warned against reselling the supplies and encouraged recipients to utilise the support effectively to improve their well-being.
“This initiative is not just about food; it is about restoring dignity, giving hope, and providing relief to the most vulnerable among us,” she stated.
Shettima noted that the RHI Food Outreach Programme has already impacted citizens in multiple states, with plans for further expansion.
“Other components of the initiative include grants for People Living With Disabilities (PLWDs), climate change awareness programmes for students, and the ‘Flow with Confidence’ Initiative, which provides sanitary wears to young girls in rural areas to support school attendance,” she added.
Earlier, Kogi State First Lady and RHI State Coordinator, Safinat Ododo, commended the First Lady’s intervention for her role in easing the hardships faced by the less privileged in the state.
She reiterated the dedication of Kogi women to national development efforts and pledged to collaborate with communities to address their needs effectively.
