Dr Bala Salisu-Zango, the state’s Commissioner for Information, Culture and Home Affairs made the clarification while reacting to insinuation that the federal government released ₦5 billion to the state.
He said that: “The attention of the state government has been drawn to news going round in the media that ₦5 billion has been released to states by the Federal Government for palliative.
“I wish to state that, Katsina State Government received only ₦2 billion for procurement of grain to be distributed to the citizens of the state.”
