The SSG said Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu in furtherance of his benevolence, compassion and love for the people of the state gave the directive for the release of the grains to chairmen of local government councils for distribution to their peculiar localities to serve as relief to all communities.

The SSG added that separate relief materials would also be provided to victims of flooding in fourteen local government areas.

Already, he said, those affected in seven local government areas before now, have received such items to mitigate losses incurred from the flooding.
