Tinubu's wife donated 1,000 bags of 25kg rice to support Bauchi Christians in the wake of Christmas and New Year celebrations.
As reported by The Nation, the gesture was part of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, aimed at alleviating the economic hardships faced by Nigerians.
The Bauchi state coordinator of the Northern Nigeria Christian Political Forum, Ayuba Umar Yelwa, announced this during the handover ceremony on Monday, December 23.
He noted that the donation was facilitated through the organisation, which operates across the 19 northern states and the FCT.
“In her usual compassionate manner, Her Excellency, the Wife of the President, has donated 1,000 bags of 25kg rice to the Christian community in Bauchi State for the Yuletide celebrations,” Yelwa said.
Speaking further, he explained that the rice would be distributed across all 20 local government areas (LGAs) of the state, prioritising widows, widowers, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups.
Reacting, the coordinator for Bauchi LGA, Iliya Bukar, expressed gratitude on behalf of the coordinators and noted that the donation would bring joy to many families during the season.
“We assure the donor that the distribution will be fair and just, reaching the intended beneficiaries,” he said.
