On Sunday, the Deputy Governor of Kano State, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, officially flagged off the 2025 Ramadan Feeding Program in the state.
The ceremony took place at Dandali Centre, Fagge Local Government Area.
Since the assumption of office by the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP)-led government in Kano State, under the able leadership of Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, the state government has institutionalized this initiative to support vulnerable residents by providing them with daily iftar meals during the holy month of Ramadan.
This annual program is a humanitarian effort aimed at easing the difficulties faced by fasting Muslims.
Recognizing the needs of the state’s large population of Ramadan observers, the Kano State Government remains committed to ensuring that relief reaches those in need.
Consequently, the government has approved the 2025 Ramadan Feeding Program, with 91 designated feeding centers across the state.
The initiative will cater for 91,000 people daily for 27 days.
To ensure the effective implementation of this year’s program, catering service providers have been engaged to prepare and deliver 91,000 plates of food per day across all designated centers.
The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, who also serves as the Chairman of the 2025 Ramadan Feeding Program, expressed satisfaction with the smooth takeoff of the initiative.
He made this known during a visit to Dandali Centre in Fagge Local Government Area.
Comrade Gwarzo further urged the catering companies involved to ensure timely and efficient delivery of meals to all feeding centers to achieve the program’s objective.
During the flag off ceremony, the Deputy Governor was accompanied by the Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, Hon. Commissioner, for Religious Affairs, Shelkh Tijjani Auwal, the permanent secretary, Deputy Governor’s office, and other top government officials, who serve as members of the Ramadan Feeding Program Committee.
