The Chairperson House of Representatives Committee on NIMASA Khadijah Ibrahim has called on well to do individuals and corporate bodies to complement government Palliative initiatives by supporting the needy around them to cushion the current economic hardship in the country.
Hajiya Khadija who represents Damaturu/Gujba/Gulanu/Tarmuwa Federal Constituency made the appeal during the presentation of food items to her constituents.
She explained that government alone cannot address the challenges caused by the oil subsidy removal, hence the need for all well meaning Nigerians with the financial muscle to also support in any way possible as the people were the dire need of help.
The House Committee Chairperson said the Palliative facilitated by a foundation named after her grandmother, Khadijatul Kubura Foundation, would be distributed to five hundred households within her Constituency.
Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni respresented by his deputy Idi Gubana said the gesture is timely as the state Government was mobilizing resources through its Palliative Committee to help the less privileged
He urged other public office holders in the state to emulate kadija Bukar Abba Ibrahim.
The food items distributed include bags of rice, cartons of macaroni and spaghetti as well as vegetable oil
