Following the Federal Government’s recent donation of 20 trucks of rice to all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, former Senator Shehu Sani has weighed in on the distribution strategy.
In a tweet from his verified Twitter account, Sani proposed that the best way to ensure equitable distribution is to entrust the task to religious leaders.
“May be the best way to distribute the trailer of rice donated to the states is to give it to the Men and Women of God to equitably share to the masses,” Sani tweeted.
His suggestion highlights a growing concern about the fairness and transparency of government-led distribution efforts.
The Federal Government’s donation aims to provide relief to the most vulnerable Nigerians amid the nation’s economic challenges. Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, emphasized that the Tinubu administration is dedicated to ensuring that Nigerians have food on their tables. However, questions about the effectiveness and equity of government distribution mechanisms have been raised.
Sani’s suggestion taps into the trusted roles that religious leaders often play in Nigerian communities. With established connections and moral authority, clergy members are seen as potential agents of fair distribution. His proposal resonates with the public’s desire for a transparent and corruption-free process, as religious leaders are often viewed as less likely to be influenced by political or personal interests….Seë_Morë
