The committee is chaired by the Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Ahmed Tijani Auwalu, and includes the Commissioners for Local Government, Health, and Environment—Muhammad Tajo Othman, Dr. Abubakar Labaran Yusuf, and Dr. Dahiru Hashim, respectively—alongside Sheikh Ibrahim Shehu Maihula, Chairman of the Hisbah Board.
Other members include special advisers, heads of relevant agencies, chairmen of the eight metropolitan local governments, State Accountant General Jamila Magaji Abdullahi, and Chairman of the Zakkat Commission, Barrister Habibu Dan’almajiri.
Governor Yusuf reaffirmed that the Ramadan Feeding Programme remains a key social intervention of his administration, designed to promote unity and provide support to vulnerable residents across the state.
