The Kebbi State Government has pledged its full support for a partnership with the European Union to implement a Social Safety Net project in the state. Deputy Governor Senator Umar Abubakar Tafida made the announcement during a meeting with an EU delegation led by the organisation's Country Director. The project aims to strengthen social protection systems in Kebbi State, addressing poverty and vulnerability among residents. Tafida described the initiative as critical to improving livelihoods and ensuring no one is left behind in the state's development. The EU team, represented by its Country Director, outlined the project's framework and timelines during the discussion.
The deputy governor's endorsement reads like routine political choreography rather than a meaningful commitment. If this partnership delivers even half its promises, it will expose the gap between policy announcements and actual service delivery in Kebbi State. Tafida's enthusiasm won't feed a single child; only concrete results will.
