Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed has inaugurated a 13-man committee to combat food insecurity and food inflation in his state.

The committee, Strategic Grains Reserve Committee, is an initiative aimed at providing relief to citizens struggling with high food costs and ensuring a steady food supply amid unpredictable weather patterns.

In his address during the inauguration, the governor emphasized his commitment to addressing the challenges of hunger and food insecurity in Bauchi.

He said that his administration will not fold its arms and watch while people helplessly languish in mortal hunger.

He highlighted that the government is taking immediate steps to make food items, especially grains, more affordable for the general public.

Mohammed explained that the newly formed committee has a dual mandate: to purchase and store a percentage of grains from farmers, thereby ensuring a steady supply, and to maintain transparency by accounting for all proceeds from the reserve before making further purchases.

The effort he said, also aims to stabilize grain prices and reduce the impact of unpredictable food supplies on vulnerable communities.

While urging the committee to ensure diligence, transparency and accountability in fulfilling its mandate, he said the formation of the committee aligns with the Bauchi State government’s broader mission to mitigate food shortages and support the agricultural sector.

Hon. Hamza Koshe Akuyam is appointed to chair the committee.
