Dangote Foundation Flags Off N16b 2025 National Food Intervention Programme

From Our Correspondent.

Over one million Nigerians nationwide will receive a 10kg bag of rice each as the Aliko Dangote Foundation (ADF) Thursday commenced the distribution of the staple food as part of the 2025 Annual National Food Intervention Project estimated at a whooping cost of N16billion.

Speaking during the flag-off of the nationwide distribution in Kano, the Chairman of the Foundation, Mr. Aliko Dangote, said the distribution of one million bags of 10kg rice to the poor and vulnerable Nigerians in the 774 Local Government Areas in the country is in line with the core values of his businesses and the Aliko Dangote Foundation.

Dangote, represented by his daughter, Maria Aliko Dangote, said: “This annual initiative, which embodies compassion, solidarity, and shared responsibility, is part of our response to the current economic challenges facing our nation. It reflects our commitment to supporting our communities in line with our core values.”

He said the Foundation was kicking off the distribution in Kano State, after which it will proceed to other states, assuring that all arrangements are in place to ensure the food reaches those who need it most in all the Local Government Areas of Nigeria.

“We are collaborating with state governments to ensure that the food reaches the most vulnerable individuals in each state,” he added.

Ladies and gentlemen, our Foundation focuses on improving Nigerians’ living conditions through support for programs that tackle hunger and water supply problems, strengthen the quality and scope of health and education, and promote economic empowerment at the community level.

Today’s event will help tackle hunger and help the most vulnerable people break their fast. We are playing our role in enhancing the living conditions of our people. I urge other industrialists and firms to lend a helping hand in combating hunger programs and initiatives that will place food on the tables of vulnerable Nigerians.

This job should not be left to the government alone; instead, we need a public-private partnership to help us fight the scourge.

“I commend the government at all levels for addressing the food crisis. I am confident that with time, we shall overcome this challenge; therefore, let us support the government in achieving its target of a better life for Nigerians, “he said.

Governor Abba K. Yusuf of Kano State, who flagged off the National Food Intervention P program, commended the good gesture and said the intervention reflected Mr. Dangote’s unwavering commitment to addressing poverty and hunger in Nigeria.

The Governor, who was represented by his Deputy, Comrade Aminu Abdulsala, M Gworzo, said 120,000 bags of 10kg rice will be distributed throughout the 44 Local government States.

He described Mr. Dangote as humane: “A similar event took place last year, and I personally oversaw the distribution of foodstuffs to the poor in this very arena.”

To ensure transparency in the distribution process, he said the state government has set up a committee comprising relevant ministries, CSOs, religious leaders, departments and agencies, local authorities, the Hisbah Board, and security agencies.

Speaking to Zouera Youssoufou newsmen, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Aliko Dangote Foussoufou said the Annual National Food Intervention Project is a way of giving back and supporting governments in fighting poverty and hunger in Nigeria.

She said Mr. Dangote is passionate about philanthropy and committed to ensuring that hueradicatediped out or reached the minimum in Nigeria.

“We are going to other states to distribute the products, but we’ve just flagged off in Kano,” she told newsmen on the sideline of the Kano Government House, venueflag-flag.

One of the beneficiaries, Ibrahim Ahmed, speaking on behalf of others thanked Mr. Dangote for his large heart saying the gift would go a long way in reducing food pressures on them especially during the Ramadan while also praying God to continue to help him in his businesses.
