Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, on Friday, condemned the actions of some elements who are allegedly selling forms to residents in various communities across the state, claiming they would be beneficiaries of government-provided palliatives and other interventions.
The governor’s warning was contained in a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Muhammad Shehu.
The governor explained that there are no forms available for sale, under any pretense, for accessing palliatives or the social register.
He reiterated his commitment to ensuring that the palliatives reach the deserving recipients
“I categorically condemn this unwholesome act by the criminal elements in our midst and members of the public are hereby informed that there are no forms on sale under any guise for palliatives or social register.
“Kaduna State Governor is committed to ensuring that the palliatives get to the true beneficiaries, to achieve this feat.
“The governor set up the palliatives committee in July 2023 – to come up with modalities for the distribution of these palliatives, the committee has since been lauded as highly inclusive comprising representatives of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Trade Union Congress, other members of Organised Labour, religious and traditional leaders, Civil Society Organisations, Persons with Disabilities, Local Government Chairmen, Youth and Women Groups.
“Residents of Kaduna state are also encouraged to contact their respective local government councils for information on the processes to be captured in the Kaduna State Social Register.
“The Kaduna State Social Register is the database of poor and vulnerable households in the state, and this register is utilised to identify beneficiaries of targeted social protection programmes and other interventions from the government,” the statement read.
