Sen. Yakubu Lado-Damarke has distributed cash assistance to thousands of less privileged and other group of people to enable them celebrate Eid-el-Kabir with ease.
The assistance was distributed to orphans, widows, physically challenged persons and other group of less privileged in the society in the state.
The gesture was also extended to journalists and some PDP members in the state.
Sen. Lado-Damarke said the gesture was meant to cushion the effects of inflation and economic hardship being experienced in the country.
He noted that the money would enable the beneficiaries to buy food items to celebrate the Sallah festivity and even beyond.
The senator also said that his foundation has commenced payment of the National Examination Council (NECO) fees for 2024 candidates from the three senatorial zones of the state.
That, he said, would also bring relief to most of the parents and enable the students to pursue their education.
Some of the beneficiaries of the Sallah assistance interviewed, said the assistance is timely, in view of this current economic hardship.
They therefore thanked the pilantrophist for the assistance, which would go a long way in relieving their difficult condition.
The beneficiaries also prayed to the Almighty Allah to reward him with Al-jannah Firdaus.
