“This is a special intervention from the Renewed Hope Initiative of the First Lady, aimed at putting food on the tables of the poor and vulnerable in communities.

“FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike and the FCT Minister of State, Dr Mariya Mahmoud are working with the office of the First Lady, to ensure availability of food in rural areas,” she said.

She assured residents of government commitment to end their suffering, particularly through increasing access to staple food.

The leader of the Leprosy Colony, Mr Ali Isa, thanked FCTA and the first lady for the gesture, which he described as lifesaving.

“We are very happy today. I have seen the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu and the Renewed Hope Initiative of the first lady in action,” he said.

The woman leader of the colony, Hajiya Sadiya Abubukar, who equally commended the gesture, said that the move was a demonstration of the government commitment to meet the needs of the poor.
