For some time now, life has not been the same for some Nigerians due to the increasing cost of living and the high prices of food items in the market.
Here in Adamawa State, the story is the same, as residents still find it difficult to cope with the high prices of food items.

Now, the cry of these people has gotten to the appropriate authorities, and with that, Governor Umaru Fintiri ordered the distribution of food items to the vulnerable persons in the state across the 21 local governments of the State.
The state Commissioner of local government says the items to be distributed include rice, maize, and millet
He explained the measures put in place to ensure the food items get to the target audience.
The ALGON state chairman, Gidado Abdulsalam gave reasons for the exercise, as he claims that the state government is now working with local government chairmen to find a permanent solution to the food crisis through mechanised farming.
