TSF Commends Federal Government’s Initiative to Address Food Shortage Across Nigeria

The Tinubu Stakeholders Forum (TSF) has commended the Federal Government for its proactive measures in addressing the critical issue of food shortage across Nigeria.

In a statement signed by its Chairman Ahmad Sajoh and Secretary Afolabi Josiah on Sunday in Abuja, the group said the measures including the dispatch of trailer loads of food supplies to states are a reflection of the administration commitment to the welfare of Nigerians.

“This initiative of dispatching 20 trailer loads of 25kg bags of rice to each of the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) through state governments underscores the Tinubu administration’s commitment to alleviating hardship among the most vulnerable members of society.

The TSF said the distribution of the rice supplies to the states is a laudable effort as it aims to ensure equitable access and support for those in need.

“We at TSF recognise, acknowledge, and support this additional step taken by the government to bolster food security measures and express hope that the subnational governments will ensure that the supplies get to those they are meant for.

“We are encouraged by the knowledge that this effort by the Tinubu administration is not a standalone one as it supplements existing government strategies aimed at enhancing food security nationwide”, the TSF stated.

It added that President Tinubu, has demonstrated unwavering dedication to safeguarding the welfare of all Nigerians, particularly during these challenging times.
