Jigawa Cracks Down On Corrupt Iftar Contractors

The Jigawa State Government has removed 22 vendors and companies involved in the ongoing Ramadan Iftar feeding programme after discovering alleged cheating and dishonest practices.

The action followed complaints over the quality and quantity of food supplied during the initiative.

Authorities in the state said the decision came after monitoring teams observed irregularities in the way the vendors handled the contract.

Reports indicated that some suppliers delivered meals that did not meet the agreed standard for beneficiaries.

Officials also raised concerns about questionable financial dealings linked to the programme.

Investigations suggested that some contractors failed to follow the rules guiding the distribution and preparation of the meals.

The state government said the affected vendors had been dropped from the programme to protect its integrity and ensure that residents benefiting from the Ramadan feeding scheme receive the proper support.
