Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri Wednesday inaugurated the palliative distribution committee with Auwal Tukur, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), as Chairman at the conference hall government house Yola.
Governor Fintiri, represented by his Deputy, Prof. Kaletapwa Farauta, charged the committee to work for residents in the state, irrespective of where they come from.
According to him, the Adamawa Government constituted the committee because the state was the project and people must look at Adamawa as their project, not minding where they came from.
Fintiri also charged the committee to adhere to its terms of reference.
“Work out necessary modalities for the transportation of palliatives, both food and non-food items, from the source to the distribution points, monitor and liaise with relevant stakeholders or community agents and ensure equitable distribution of the palliatives to the intended beneficiaries across the 21 LG areas.
“Ensure it is hitch-free, non-violent and devoid of bias and co-opt any other person or group considered useful in ensuring the success of the exercise,” he charged the community.
Farauta thanked the governor for finding them worthy to serve on the committee.
He assured that the committee would work hard to ensure a hitch-free distribution across the state to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal.
