 “We Don’t Want Violent Politics In Kaduna,” Group Tells Political Parties, Urges Them to Call Supporters To Order The Kaduna Peace Ambassadors Forum has called on political parties in Kaduna State to caution their supporters and prevent further violence following recent clashes involving members of major political parties in the state. The group said Kaduna had enjoyed relative peace for a long period and should not return to an era of violent politics. In a statement, the forum expressed concern that political disagreements and clashes in the past had sometimes escalated into religious conflicts, with consequences for communities across the state. It therefore called on security agencies to take appropriate measures to identify and hold accountable those responsible for the recent clashes, while strengthening preventive measures to avoid a recurrence. The organisation also urged politicians and their supporters not to treat politics as a do-or-die affair, stressing that residents...

New York City Ends Controversial Food Voucher Program for Migrants


New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced the end of the migrant voucher program after a phone call with President-elect Donald Trump

48 hours after his victory.


New York City has announced it will end its program of providing food vouchers to migrants, a decision that concludes a controversial initiative frequently criticized by conservatives and other groups.

Under the pilot program, asylum seekers staying in hotels converted into shelters received preloaded Mastercards, providing about $350 per week for a family of four to cover groceries and baby supplies.

The city awarded a $53 million one-year “emergency” contract to New Jersey-based tech startup Mobility Capital Finance, bypassing the usual competitive bidding process, a decision that sparked significant backlash.

“As we move towards more competitive contracting for asylum seeker programs, we have chosen not to renew the emergency contract for this pilot program once the one-year term concludes,” Mayor Eric Adams’s Office said in a statement.

The city launched the program in late March, following a contract signed two months prior. Since then, it has distributed $3.2 million in prepaid debit cards to around 2,600 migrant families to help cover food expenses.

The program aimed to reduce costs and food waste related to the city’s boxed meal delivery service, as much of the pre-packaged food was reportedly scrapped. By allowing migrants to choose their own groceries, it helped reduce waste.

Conservative commentators and some elected officials criticized the initiative, suggesting it was prone to waste, fraud, and abuse. However, City Hall spokesperson Fowler stated that no such issues emerged.

In fact, according to city officials, the debit cards can only be used at groceries, convenience stores and bodegas, and do not work at other businesses; families receiving assistance must sign affidavits committing to using the cards exclusively for their intended purpose, with violators facing the possibility of having their cards revoked.
