Speaking at the occasion held at the Event Centre, Government House, Damaturu, Governor Buni emphasized the importance of supporting the less privileged during Ramadan.
In addition to the annual Ramadan feeding centres established across the state, Buni explained that the state government is allocating the sum of N297 million to provide food for the less-privileged individuals at the centres.
