IN FCT, OVER 100 HOUSEHOLDS RECEIVE FREE CHICKEN, RICE, AS GLOBAL PEACE ADVOCACY AND EMPOWERMENT INITIATIVE LAUNCHES COVID19 PALLIATIVE PROJECTS

By Ikpontu G.I

The sad challenges created by the recent coronavirus outbreak in Nigeria may have led to intense economic hardship, as households especially in rural and surbub areas in the FCT now scamper for foods and other basic needs in the struggle for survival. This and many more where the reasons why Salamsco Farms Nigeria Limited through the humanitarian support of Global Peace Advocacy and Empowerment Initiative, in collaboration with Youth Initiative For Diversity(YIDIN) under the national leadership of Amb. Queen Amina Agbo, launched the "Life Chicken Distribution Outreach" as palliatives for about 100households across Angwan Dutse Community, Sauka Kahuta, Apo Resettlement and Tudun Wada Lugbe FHA, in the Federal Capital Territory(FCT).

Speaking during the outreach programs at one of the distributuon locations, the Director General of Global Peace Advocacy and Empowerment Initiative, Amb. Sadiq Badamasi Ibrahim told reporters that the ongoing "Free Life Chicken Outreach", was in view of its vision to support humanity and maintain peaceful coexistence in furtherance of the challenges posed by the outrageous Covid19 pandermic, especially with FG lockdown directive in the FCT.

The outreach was initiated by GPAEI, through the support of her mother agency YIDIN and in collaboration with Salamsco farms, that provided life chickens from its high capacity poultry. The outreach commenced distribution of 2life chicken birds to 33Housholds each and 1life Chicken bird to 50households on the 20th of April 2020. On the 23rd of April 2020 the organizations held the last distribution of free life chicken to households at Galadimawa and Apo settlements in the FCT. Over 80households and many more across communities in FCT have already benefitted from the humanitarian gestures of GPAEI and YIDIN.

This happened few days after Global Peace Advocacy and Empowerment Initiative distributed bags of rice to households in Lugbe, a surbub area in the FCT. The rice distribution initiative and exercise was earnestly supported by Engr. George Chidi, the National President of Federal Housing Youths Lugbe Nigeria and other notable humanitarian organisations and NGOs including the Miyetti Allah Wallidira Initiative for Peace, Naira Can Change Life Foundation and Kwatam Development Initiative.

However, beneficiaries of the Free Life Chicken Initiative and Free Rice distribution project have continue to expressed gratitude for the patriotic concerns demonstrated by Global Peace Advocacy and Empowerment Initiative in collaboration with YIDIN and other NGOs in Nigeria. Heads of some households encouraged and appreciated the organization, as they seek more of its benevolent interventions.

Global Peace Advocacy and Empowerment Initiative has continue to mobilize supports for vulnerable households and individuals across communities in Nigeria and across the globe. It's timely intervention to emergency challenges faced In Nigeria and across nations in the world have kept the organization in the league of extraordinary relevance and operational impacts in humanitarian services.
