Kaduna Governor Warns Against Sale Of Forms For Palliatives, Social Register

Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has warned those selling forms for palliative materials and social register data base to residents to stop it.

A Government House statement urged residents to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity or diversion of palliatives as all offenders when apprehended will be prosecuted.

The governor’s chief press secretary, Muhammad Lawal Shehu, in a statement yesterday, said there were no forms on sale under any guise for palliatives or social register.

The statement said: “The attention of the Kaduna State government has been drawn to reports that forms are allegedly being sold in communities across the state for residents to become beneficiaries of palliatives and other interventions being provided by government for the most vulnerable in our society.

“Governor Uba Sani is committed to ensuring that the palliatives get to the true beneficiaries, to achieve this feat, the governor set up the palliatives committee in July 2023 to come up with modalities for the distribution of these palliatives. The committee has since been lauded as highly inclusive comprising representatives of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Trade Union Congress, other members of organised labour, religious and traditional leaders, Civil Society Organizations, persons with disability, local government chairmen, youth and women groups.”

The statement urged residents to contact their respective local government councils for information on the processes to be captured in the social register.
