In his bid to smile on faces of vulnerable and less privileged families in his Constituency, a member representing Sabo Gari Federal Constituency in Kaduna state, Sadiq Ango Abdullahi, has distributed trailer load of food items to poor families to cushion the effect of subsidy removal on petroleum
Flagging off the distribution of the items in Sabon Gari on Friday, the lawmaker said the gesture was his personnel effort to alleviate people’s sufferings.
He said, “this palliative is not from constituency project allocation or any official source, it is from my personnel effort.
“In fact some of my friends and associates contributed in providing the items, just to alleviate the hardship faced by my constituents and Nigerians at large.”
The legislator therefore said the items were evenly distributed to people irrespective of political affiliation, tribe or faith.
Abdullahi noted that, during the first 100 days in office, a medical outreach has also been conducted all in a bid to enhance social wellbeing of the citizens.
He assured his commitment to legislate laws that will cushion the hardship and reduce poverty among Nigerians.
