SOKOTO GOVT UNDER SCRUTINY OVER ALLEGED N1BN RAMADAN FEEDING PROGRAMME

March 16, 2026

The Sokoto State Government has come under public scrutiny following allegations that its N1 billion Ramadan feeding programme delivered minimal food items to residents across the state. Critics questioned whether the items reportedly distributed reflected the scale of funds approved for the initiative.

The controversy gained attention on social media after claims surfaced that beneficiaries received small portions of garri, kuli-kuli and sachet water under the scheme. The development triggered widespread reactions, with many calling on the state government to provide clarity on how the allocated funds were utilised.

While concerns continue to generate debate online, some commentators have urged caution, noting that the allegations require proper verification. As of the time of filing this report, the Sokoto State Government had yet to issue an official response addressing the claims.
