Aliko Dangote Foundation (ADF) has approved and inaugurated the 2025 Annual National Food Intervention Project valued at N16 billion, targeting one million Nigerians nationwide.
The Chairman of the Foundation, Mr Aliko Dangote, made this known during the project’s inaugural flag-off ceremony on Thursday in Kano State.
Represented by his daughter, Marya, Dangote said the intervention was part of the foundation’s response to the economic challenges facing Nigeria.
According to Marya, the distribution of one million bags of 10kg rice to the poor and most vulnerable Nigerians across 774 Local Government Areas is aimed at assisting the government in addressing high hunger in the society.
“We are collaborating with state governments to ensure that food reaches the most vulnerable individuals in each state’s, she stated.
She advocated that there was need for stakeholders, including Dangote Foundation, to improve the living conditions of all Nigerians through support projects, which tackle hunger and water supply problems.
Dangote urged other industrialists and firms to lend a helping hand in combating hunger through programmes and initiatives that would place food on the tables of vulnerable Nigerians.
