Over 10,000 families in Mafa Local Government Area of Borno state have benefited from the food palliative disbursed by the Federal Government.
Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum oversteered the distribution which took place on Tuesday, August 20, 2024 in four centres at Mafa town.
Zulum thanked the Federal Government for the intervention while recalling that similar food items were distributed in Gwoza and Nganzai earlier:
“This food item constitutes the last batch of those donated by the Federal Government to the state. You can remember that we shared similar food items in Gwoza and Nganzai a few months ago,” he said.
Each of the 10,000 heads of households received a relief package comprising one bag of maize grain.
Governor Zulum has also begun the distribution of 150 million naira to 15,000 females in Mafa town.
He also distributed wrappers procured by the Borno State Government in addition to the cash.
Each of the over 15,000 females will receive a package comprising N10,000 cash and one wrapper.
“Each female head of household will receive a wrapper and a sum of N10,000 through our Microfinance Bank”, he said.
