Audu explained that the gesture was also in furtherance of the Renewed Hope Agenda initiative of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration on food security.

According to him, the distribution of the items to vulnerable indigenes and eligible farmers is aimed at reducing the impact of high cost of foodstuffs.

“Today, I am here to distribute almost 4,000 bags of rice and fertilizers across the 21 local government areas of Kogi State to ensure that all stakeholders in Kogi State benefit from the palliatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President to ensure food security.

“And I want to thank all of you, especially the youths for abstaining from the recent wave of nationwide protests in Kogi State.

“It was a wonderful outcome, and I came here to thank all of you as we distribute these palliatives since you listened to your leaders, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo and myself the Minister.

“We advised that youths engage in dialogue rather than joining the protests. We would not let you down for giving us the benefit of the doubt.

“In the last year, my tenure as Honourable Minister, I have provided succour to the people of Kogi State, including N50,000 in nano-business grants to 5,000 beneficiaries in Kogi State under the federal government’s Renewed Hope Agenda, as a result of this effort, N250 million was disbursed to kogites.

“We distributed several palliatives earlier this year, and in addition to that , we are in here today doing more,” Audu stated.

The traditional ruler noted that the items would go a long way in bringing relief to the people.

Mr. Stephen Bala Jibrin, Secretary, All Farmers Association of Nigeria, Kogi State Chapter, described the gesture as a timely intervention as farmers in the state need fertilizers and other farm inputs.

Jibrin said : “As farmers, our heartfelt gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for recognizing Farmers in Kogi State.

“We thank the Minister because our association has been fully carried along as beneficiaries.

“The leadership of the association will ensure that the fertilizers get to farmers even at the grassroots.

“We have local government coordinators and ward coordinators. So, we are going to channel the items through them for further distribution.”

Miss Ruth Dada, a trader also thanked the Minister for reaching out to the traders.
