Barau Jibrin, the Deputy Senate President, has reported that some relief materials intended for impoverished households in Kano State have been misappropriated.

Jibrin, who represents Kano North and chairs a presidential committee on distributing relief items, made this disclosure following a committee meeting on Thursday.

The committee, which includes members from the All Progressives Congress (APC), New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC), and traditional rulers, was established to ensure fair distribution of aid in the north-western state.

“We just held a meeting in respect of a committee set up by Mr. President on how to distribute palliatives to the needy in respect of the Kano people,” Jibrin stated. He emphasized President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to equitable distribution of the materials.

Jibrin explained that the president’s concern over the improper distribution led to the formation of the committee to oversee the process. “He has given a lot of palliatives, but they are not being distributed evenly; they have not gone to those at the grassroots who should have them,” Jibrin said.

The senator outlined the distribution plan, noting that beneficiaries will be identified through valid identification documents such as national identity cards, driver’s licenses, voter’s cards, or international passports. Each confirmed beneficiary will receive a 25kg bag of rice.
