Former Senate President Ahmad Lawan has disbursed cash worth N222.5 million and food items to his constituents in the six Local Government Areas of Yobe North Senatorial District.
The initiative, according to the Chairman of the Selection and Distribution Committee, Alhaji Suleiman Jamo, was to cushion the effects of the economic hardship being experienced by many of the constituents amid preparations for Eid-el-Kabir.
The President of the 9th Senate, Lawan, however, prayed for a successful Eid celebration, saying: “I wish all my constituents a blessed and peaceful Eid-el-Kabir celebration. May the spirit of the season unite us and bring us closer together.”
A statement by the Media Adviser to Ahmad Lawan, Dr. Ezrel Tabiowo, added that the items to be distributed include 1,500 carton boxes of spaghetti, 1,140 bags of maize and guinea corn, 1,500 clothings for children, 800 wrappers for women, 2,000 blankets, 2,000 mats, among others.
Constituents, traditional leaders, party executives and other stakeholders of the Yobe North Senatorial District are expected to benefit from the gesture.
