6 North-Eastern states get ₦15 billion palliatives

The states are Borno, Adamawa, Yobe, Gombe, Bauchi and Taraba states.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the food and non-food items were presented to the governors of the states by Vice President Kashim Shettima at a ceremony on Saturday in Maiduguri.

Shettima, who lauded the management of NEDC for prudent management of scarce resources, said that the destruction in the six states was worth nine billion dollars.
