The Buhari For All Organisation (BUFAO) has begun the distribution of rice, loaded in five trucks, to less-privileged people in Kebbi.

While briefing newsmen at the distribution point, Alhaji Bello Dantani, who is the State Coordinator of the organization, said that the gesture is to assist the less-privileged people in the society.

“The exercise is just the beginning of the distribution of five trucks of 25-kg rice off-loaded by the organization in the state.

“Today, orphans, persons living with disabilities, widows and the less-privileged people within the society are going home with bags of rice as an assistance to them from the organization,” he said.

Dantani urged the beneficiaries to continue to pray for the unity of the country and for the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to surmount its challenges before the end of its tenure.

Flagging off the distribution of the rice, Gov. Atiku Bagudu, commended the organization for its benevolence in reaching out to orphans, widows and the less-privileged in the spirit of social service to the citizenry.

Bagudu, represented by the state Commissioner for Agriculture and Mineral Resources, Alhaji Maigari Dakingari, said his administration attached premium to enhancing the welfare of the less privileged and the indigent in the state with emphasis on orphans and similar groups.

Furthermore, he stated that the distribution of rice by the organization is in line with the policy of the incumbent administration to uplift the social and economic well-being of the people.

Also, the governor said that the government has already distributed food items throughout the 21 local government areas as Ramadan palliative.
