The Jigawa State Government has sacked 22 vendors and companies involved in the ongoing Ramadan iftar programme for alleged cheating and dishonesty in the quality and quantity of their food and in their financial dealings
The programme, targeting 7.9 million beneficiaries in 640 free meal centres across the state, was initiated by Governor Umar Namadi, with the aim of providing relief and nutritious meals to the most vulnerable citizens during the holy month.
However, barely two weeks into the programme, a comprehensive supervisory report and field monitoring revealed serious misconduct by several vendors and companies, following public outcry.
The development prompted the State Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Special Duties to take swift action, dismissing those suspected to be involved.
