He said the distribution was part of the Federal Government’s national strategic grains reserve initiative to the needy Nigerians.
“We will distribute 50kg of grains to 10,000 households in Pulka, 18,000 females will get a wrapper and N10,000 cash each,” the governor disclosed at Pukka, a town located South East of Maiduguri.
He said the distribution aimed at about 22,000 beneficiaries, would be extended to neighbouring communities in the area affected by Boko Haram violence.
