The Katsina State Government has officially launched the Rumbun Sauki programme, a N4 billion initiative aimed at easing economic hardship by providing essential food items at subsidised rates.

Engr. Yakubu Danja, the special adviser on Rural Economy to Governor Dikko Radda, announced the initiative at a press conference, emphasising the government’s commitment to addressing food affordability challenges faced by residents.

He explained that under the programme, subsidised shops will be established across the state to offer essential food items such as rice, flour, maize flour, and spaghetti at a 10 per cent discount.

Danja added that the initiative will initially commence with seven centres located in Katsina, Daura, and Funtua senatorial zones.

In order to ensure accessibility for all, he added that these commodities will be available in different packaging sizes, ranging from 1kg to 50kg, catering to varying household needs and income levels.

The Rumbun Sauki programme is specifically designed for state and local government employees, local education authority staff, and senior citizens aged 60 and above.

Beneficiaries of the initiative are required to register online or physically through designated service providers to ensure transparency and accountability.

As part of the to further ease the financial burden, the government has introduced a flexible payment system where purchases can be made on credit, with repayments deducted directly from salaries or pensions.

Every transaction will be processed using a customized ATM card issued to beneficiaries upon registration.

Initially, beneficiaries will be allowed to make purchases once a month, but the government plans to expand this to four times per month as the programme progresses.

The ultimate goal is to extend Rumbun Sauki to all 34 local government areas and, eventually, every political ward in the state.

This phased approach is aimed at ensuring equitable distribution and effective implementation.

He stressed that to maintain the integrity of the initiative, strict oversight mechanisms have been put in place, and any fraudulent activities will be met with legal consequences.

Danja reaffirmed the Katsina State government’s dedication to sustain the initiative to provide solution to the economic challenges faced by residents.

He described it as more than just a policy, but a vital intervention for improving welfare and ensuring food security in Katsina State.
