Kaduna State Government, in partnership with a non-governmental organisation, the Zakat and Waqaf Foundation, distributed meat to over 10,000 families during the Eid-El-Kabir celebrations.
During the distribution at the Kaduna South Local Government Secretariat, Bridget Sulaiman, Governor Uba Sani’s special adviser on the Social Investment Programme, said the drive was about giving and restoring dignity to the beneficiaries.
She said the initiative spanned several local governments, including Zaria, Lere, Kaduna North, and Kaduna South, adding that it was hailed as a landmark act of compassion, inclusion, and public-private synergy.
“This initiative is about dignity. It’s about ensuring that even the poorest and most vulnerable among us can celebrate Eid with joy, pride, and a sense of belonging,” she stated.
The executive chairman of Kaduna South local government, Hon. Rayyan Hussain, emphasised the impact of collaboration between government and charity.
Representing the Women with Disabilities Reliance Foundation, Ramatu Ahmed said this year’s outreach surpassed all expectations, adding that they have received packages in the past, but this one is exceptional.
