Eid-el-Kabir: Matawalle donates N200 million for Sallah celebrations
The former Zamfara Governor, Bello Matawalle, has donated N200 million to various categories of people in the state for the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
This is contained in a statement signed by the state APC chairman, Tukur Danfulani, issued in Gusau on Saturday by the state publicity secretary, Yusuf Idris.
Mr Danfulani, who is the chairman of the distribution committee, said that the beneficiaries included the members, stakeholders of the party, women, youth groups and associations.
“Other beneficiaries were orphans and the less privileged, Islamic scholars, media practitioners, and social media handlers, among others.
“The gesture is aimed at assisting people to celebrate the upcoming 2023 Eid-el-Kabir festival with ease.
“The committee had already started the distribution of the money to all the beneficiaries,” Mr Idris quoted Mr Danfulani as saying.
Mr Danfulani, who thanked Mr Matawalle for the gesture, described it as timely as it will cushion the economic hardship among the citizens in the state, especially at the grassroots.
The party’s chairman assured that the committee would ensure that all the targeted beneficiaries receive the gesture before Wednesday.
