Niger State Governor Mohammed Umar Bago has added N200 million to N5 billion loan from the federal government as palliatives, making it N5.2 billion to be distributed to 270 wards in the state even as he warned that any official who diverts the palliatives would go to jail.

He said at a news conference yesterday in Minna that the amount given was a loan on which the state and local governments would  pay back 52 percent and the federal government 48 percent.

He said all former and serving top government officials would be involved in the distribution to the wards and each ward would get N10 million except in Minna and Suleja where each ward would get N20 million.

The governor said; “All former presidents, vice presidents, former governors and their deputies, SSGs,  former members of the national and state assemblies, traditional rulers, pensioners and members of all political parties are automatic members of the standing committees.
