Hardship: Kwara Distributes 50,000 Cartons Of Noodles To Students
The Kwara State government, on Wednesday, commenced the distribution of 50,000 cartons of noodles to students of tertiary institutions in the state, to cushion the effects of high cost of living in the country.
The state governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, flagged off the distribution of the noodles in Ilorin, the state capital.
Represented by the State's Commissioner for Youth Development, Hajia Nafisat Buge, the governor presented the noodles to the leadership of the Students Union Governments (SUGs).
AbdulRazaq said that the gesture was in addition to the previous and ongoing interventions, policy directions and programmes to ensure the comfort of the people.
“As I speak with you, 38,000 cartons of the noodles are right here, while the 12,000 balance will be delivered to you in the next few days,” he said.
AbdulRazaq added that the intervention was another stopgap measure to support the students at this moment, adding that similar social supports in different forms were being extended to different segments of the society.
“This is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our administration to support our students and to ensure their well-being during these challenging times.
“Before now, the government has rolled out a number of palliatives and relief packages to help the students cope with the challenges that came with the removal of fuel subsidy,” the governor said.
Earlier, the special assistant on Students Affairs to the governor, Salami Onidugbe, had said that the intervention was for both indigene and non-indigene students in the State.
Onidugbe also said that a government monitoring team would be sent to each of the benefitting institutions to supervise the distribution to beneficiaries, charging the SUG leaders to ensure that the intervention gets to all students.
