The Senate on Tuesday urged the Federal Government to introduce food stamps programme as a temporary solution to current hardship in the country.
This followed the adoption of a motion sponsored by the Senate Chief Whip, Senator Ali Ndume and co-sponsored by other lawmakers, including the Senator from Kwara Central, Saliu Mustapha, at the plenary in Abuja.
Food stamps are a federal government-sponsored programme in the United States that provides purchasing assistance for low- and no-income people to help them maintain adequate nutrition and health.
