Some residents expressed delight over the gesture, praying God would reward the donor abundantly.
One of the beneficiaries, Mr Umar Abdullahi, said the foundation had brought succour to the community recently afflicted by an inferno.

The chairman of the Garki local government area, Mr Adamu Kore, who flagged off the distribution of the commodity, praised the foundation for its support.

Mr.Kore said that the palliative care would ease the hardships of the community members affected by the fire.

Similarly, the foundation has donated 20,000 bags of 10kg rice to the Taraba State government for vulnerable persons.

The foundation’s representative, Bello Dan Musa, presented the bags of rice to the 16 local government council chairmen and cabinet members of the Taraba State government.
