Indirawa said that densely-populated local governments like Dutse, Hadejia, Birnin-kudu, Kazaure and Gumel, among others, were allowed to spend N50, 000 each day.
According to him, the less-populated ones are directed to spend only N30, 000 per day.
He said that the programme was aimed at providing free food to the less-privileged in the society.
The commissioner enjoined the councils to keep the free foods in strategic locations like motor parks, market squares, mosques and major streets where it could be easily obtained.

He said that all together, the 27 councils would spend a total sum of N64.8 million for the programme.
