Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Kebbi State Government has responded to a viral video showing a school teacher, Abduljalal Usman, complaining about the quantity of Ramadan palliatives distributed in Dandi Local Government Area<\/p>\n

In the video circulating on social media, Usman claimed he received only one mudu (a local measurement bowl) of rice and one mudu of maize as part of palliatives distributed to staff of the Dandi Local Government Education Authority.<\/p>\n

However, the state government said the claim was misleading.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Sunday, the Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy to the Nasir Idris, Abdullahi Idris, said the grains distributed under the programme were rice and millet, not maize as stated in the video.<\/p>\n

He also said the palliative allocation meant for Dandi Local Government Area had not yet arrived at the council headquarters when the video was recorded.<\/p>\n

The adviser further alleged that the individual in the video had been manipulated for political purposes, claiming he is a psychiatric patient.<\/p>\n

The viral clip had earlier sparked debate on social media over the distribution of Ramadan palliatives in the state.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Dandi Local Government Education Authority has lifted Usman\u2019s suspension pending the outcome of an investigation.<\/p>\n
