He said, “The initiative has been rendering support every Ramadan and whenever there is any need such as during last year’s flood in parts of Kano, Katsina and Jigawa states among other things.
“We targeted 750 and Alhamdullillah, we have succeeded in reaching out to them. The package is mainly food items; rice spaghetti, seasoning, cooking oil, dates, salt, sugar and some money as transport money to the needy.
“Some of these beneficiaries are so weak that they don’t even have the transport money to come here. Our object is to make life easy for people in this month of Ramadan in our Society,” Dr Dukawa added.
