CG Adeniyi also mentioned the Service’s plans to tackle food scarcity by providing necessary supplies to Kano residents during his visit to the state.

This development underscores the challenges faced in ensuring adequate food provision during Ramadan and highlights the importance of effective management and distribution of resources to support vulnerable populations.
