From Ibrahim Sidi Muh’d, Gusau
Former Zamfara State Governor and Senator-elect, Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar has distributed 200 trucks of assorted grains worth 200 million naira meant to alleviate pains felt by orphans from across the 20 emirates of the state.
Flagging off the distribution exercise on Wednesday at Command Guest Inn Gusau, former Governor Yari who was represented by the former Commissioner ministry for religious affairs, Dr. Abdullahi Maharazu Mafara, said the gesture was purely nonpolitical.
Maharazu noted that, 5200 bags of assorted grains have been procured with a view to feed the 6000 randomly selected orphans from the 20 emirates of the state, adding that, 4170 bags were distributed to the orphans during the 2022 Ramadan.
The grains been distributed include 55,350,000 bags of rice, 33,075,000 bags of sugar, 18,900,000 bags of millet, 28,350,000 bags of corn, and bundles of brochures and wrappers for both boys and girls orphans added with the sum of 2000 naira each for tailoring.
Dr. Maharazu further called on the benefitting emirates to ensure the success of the exercise, adding that, more plans have been hatched by the former Governor, Yari, with a view to increase the number of the beneficiaries especially considering the hardship people of the state have found themselves.
