1. The Akwa Ibom State Government, through the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and its parastatal, the Akwa Ibom State Bulk Purchase Agency, will on Monday, July 13, 2026, commence the fourth phase of the ARISE Free Food Distribution Programme with simultaneous flag-off exercises in Oron and Urue Offong/Oruko Local Government Areas.

Beginning with the flag-off, the State’s food trucks will move simultaneously to scheduled Local Government Areas in accordance with the approved distribution timetable, ensuring the seamless delivery of food supplies across the State. Distribution will be carried out strictly through the approved Food Voucher system to verified beneficiaries captured in the State Social Register, in line with Government’s commitment to transparency, accountability and fairness.

4. The ARISE Free Food Distribution Programme remains one of the flagship humanitarian interventions of the administration of His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, aimed at cushioning the effects of prevailing economic challenges on vulnerable households while advancing the welfare objectives of the ARISE Agenda. Through the first three phases of the programme, more than 650,000 vulnerable households and individuals across Akwa Ibom State have benefited from the intervention, underscoring the Government’s unwavering commitment to ensuring that no vulnerable citizen is left behind.

5. The State Government calls on all Local Government Chairmen, Ward Personal Assistants to the Governor, traditional rulers, critical stakeholders to intensify grassroots mobilization and ensure that all eligible beneficiaries come out to participate in the exercise on their scheduled dates.

6. Stakeholders are reminded that food vouchers will be distributed strictly to duly verified beneficiaries captured in the State Social Register, while the distribution process must remain transparent, orderly, peaceful and accountable throughout the exercise.

7. While the Free Food Distribution Programme continues as a strategic intervention to support vulnerable households, the Akwa Ibom State Government reiterates its commitment to promoting sustainable food security by encouraging citizens to return to the farm and embrace agriculture as a viable means of livelihood. The intervention complements the State’s robust investments in agriculture and other agricultural empowerment initiatives, and is not intended to replace productive enterprise or self-reliance.

8. The Government remains resolute in implementing people-centred programmes that improve the quality of life of citizens, strengthen food security and expand economic opportunities, while sustaining interventions that provide timely relief to vulnerable households under the ARISE Agenda.
