The Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin
The Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, has distributed about 47,280 bags of rice to his constituents in Kano North Senatorial District.
This according to him served as his support for the holy month of Ramadan and the forthcoming Sallah celebrations.
The distribution done through his Chief of Staff, Muhammad Abdallah and other aides at Azman Rice Company in the Mariri area of Kano took place on Tuesday.
This information was contained in a statement on Wednesday by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Deputy President of the Senate, Ismail Mudashir.
In the first phase of the distribution, 47,280 households across the 13 LGs of the Kano North Senatorial District received a bag of rice each.
“The 47,280 bags were distributed across the local government areas, while other categories will follow afterwards. Given the importance of grassroots, Senator Barau decided they should be the first to benefit from the gesture, followed by other segments of society.
“This Ramadan intervention by the Deputy President of the Senate is aimed at supporting communities and fulfilling the religious obligation of feeding people during the holy month,” he said.
Beneficiaries expressed delight and appreciated the gesture of the Deputy President of the Senate, describing him as a leader who consistently supports the masses across various sectors of human development.
Eid-el-Fitr is a major Islamic festival that marks the end of the 30-day dawn-to-sunset fasting during Ramadan.
The celebration is typically observed with special communal prayers, feasts, acts of charity, and visits to family and friends.
