Governor Uba Sani today received Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, at the Abba Kyari Banquet Hall, Kaduna, for the official flag-off ceremony of a major humanitarian intervention targeted at vulnerable households across Northern Nigeria.
The visit marks another significant step in the Federal Government’s commitment to easing the economic burden faced by citizens, particularly low-income families and underserved communities. As part of this intervention, the First Lady launched the distribution of 100 trucks of rice alongside ₦1.2 billion in palliative support, which will benefit vulnerable households across the 19 Northern states.
This initiative, under the leadership and compassionate vision of Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, reflects a strong commitment to social welfare, food security, and inclusive support for citizens during challenging economic times. It also demonstrates the Federal Government’s resolve to ensure that relief materials and financial assistance reach those who need them the most.
Governor Uba Sani, while receiving the First Lady, expressed appreciation for her dedication to humanitarian service and her continued support for Nigerians, especially women, children, and vulnerable groups. He also reaffirmed Kaduna State’s readiness to collaborate with the Federal Government and relevant stakeholders in ensuring the transparent and effective distribution of these palliatives.
The event further highlights Kaduna State’s strategic role as a key partner in national development initiatives and social intervention programs aimed at improving the living conditions of ordinary Nigerians. With this intervention, many struggling families across Northern Nigeria are expected to receive much-needed relief and support.
This gesture is not only timely but also a reflection of responsive leadership, empathy, and a collective commitment to improving the welfare of citizens across the region.
