₦airaland Forum

The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has distributed bags of rice worth millions of naira to over 1,000 widows, orphans, and other vulnerable residents in Nasarawa State to tackle hunger during the Christmas and New Year festivities.

Our correspondent reports that the 25kg bags of rice were distributed by the Nasarawa State chapter of the Christian Northern Nigeria Progressive Forum on behalf of the First Lady.

Speaking at the exercise in Akwanga Local Government Area on Wednesday, the State Coordinator of CNNPF, Kuje Alaphu, said the gesture is part of the Renewed Hope Initiative of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

He explained that the outreach is designed to support the underprivileged across all 13 local government areas in the state.

“This food outreach ensures no one is left behind and promotes food security during this festive season,” Alaphu said.

He added, “We have just done the symbolic presentation of these 1,000 bags of rice, which will reach people across the state.

“The bags were given to the Christian Northern Nigeria Progressive Forum across the 19 northern states, and we in Nasarawa State are happy to benefit from the First Lady during this year’s Christmas and New Year celebrations, as she has always done.”

Alaphu thanked Mrs Tinubu for her “show of love and care to the less privileged and vulnerable residents of Nasarawa State during this festive season.”

Also speaking, the North Central Zonal Coordinator of CNNPF, Manga Asha, said the exercise was aimed at ameliorating challenges faced by the less privileged and improving their livelihoods.

He urged beneficiaries not to sell the rice but to make good use of the items at home.

The National Secretary of CNNPF, Dauda Karshi, who witnessed the distribution, commended the First Lady and assured all continuous loyalty and support from members of the organisation.

One of the beneficiaries, Amina Aminu Kure, expressed joy on behalf of others.

“The food items put smiles on our faces and will help us have regular meals at home during this festive season,” she said.

She should also build schools and factories for them, so that when the rice finishes, they can keep feeding. After all the money belongs to the people in the first place.

Imagine if women were the ones ruling. I have never heard a governor or president has distributed anything. The other time it was Sen. Natasha that distributed and wife of the President. Our male leaders only distribute hardship.
