Excitement As Zamfara First Lady Ends Food Distribution Tour

The First Lady of Zamfara State, Hajiya Hurriya Dauda Lawal, has successfully completed the 2026 Ramadan Food Package Distribution Tour by delivering 50,000 food packages to vulnerable households across all fourteen (14) Local Government Areas of the State.

The programme is recognised as one of the largest coordinated humanitarian interventions undertaken by the first Office.

The statewide outreach concluded with a closing ceremony in Gusau, followed by a comprehensive and inclusive distribution plan to ensure equitable access for beneficiaries in both urban and rural communities.

The tour started in Shinkafi and Zurmi, then moved on to Birnin Magaji and Kaura Namoda. It continued through Gummi and Bukkuyum, then Anka and Talata Mafara, Maradun and Bakura, and Maru and Bungudu, before finally ending in Tsafe and Gusau.

Hajiya Hurriya Dauda Lawal said that each of the 50,000 food packages contained 20kg of rice, beans, maize, millet, 5kg of sugar, spaghetti, cooking oil, salt, and clothing materials for women.

According to her, the intervention was thoughtfully planned to soften the economic impact of rising food prices and offer genuine relief to families observing the holy month of Ramadan.

In the same vein, the First Lady also launched the Late Gusau Emir’s Foundation Ramadan Packages to 1,000 vulnerable households.
