The Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, has warned against the diversion of palliatives meant for poor and vulnerable groups in the territory.

Wike gave the warning in Abuja on Tuesday during the ongoing distribution of food items to vulnerable residents at Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC).

NAN reports that the FCT Administration (FCTA) on Monday commenced the distribution of 12,000 bags of rice and maize to vulnerable households across the six area councils of the FCT.

The minister, who was represented by Mr Lawan Geidam, Mandate Secretary, Agriculture and Rural Development Secretariat, FCTA, reiterated the administrationโ€™s commitment to address the plight of the poor.

He explained that the poor and vulnerable persons in the society are the worst hit by the petroleum subsidy removal, stressing the need to prioritise their concerns.

He, therefore, warned those responsible for the distribution exercise to shun every temptation to divert the food items meant to reduce the impacts of the subsidy removal.

โ€œThe commitment to sustain the palliative distribution demonstrates the President Bola Tinubu administrationโ€™s dedication to provide support to vulnerable residents in the FCT.

โ€œThe initiative aims to alleviate the financial burden caused by the removal of fuel subsidies and ensure that essential food items reach those most in need,โ€ Wike said.

Earlier, the Chairman of AMAC, Mr Christopher Maikalangu, urged the administration to allocate more food items to AMAC considering its large population of the poor.

Maikalangu assured the minister that the food items would get to the targeted groups in all the political wards of the council.

In a similar exercise at Bwari Area Council, Wike warned that FCTA would not condone any act of sabotage.
