Mr Hudu also assisted 33 students with N10,000 each for registration for the 2024 Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination and donated seven vehicles to groups and individuals in his constituency.
The lawmaker, also the chairman of the House Committee on Finance and Appropriation, gave out the cash and vehicles on Saturday in Awe, Awe Local Government Area of the state.
Mr Hudu explained that the donation of the vehicles was to ease the transportation challenges the beneficiaries faced and enhance effective service delivery.

The legislator further assured the people of more dividends of democracy and reiterated his commitment to providing quality representation at the state legislature.
The lawmaker solicited the support of all his constituents to succeed while urging them to be law-abiding and peaceful.
He also appealed to his constituents to support the Governor Abdullahi Sule-led administration in the state, given his commitment to good governance.
Speaking at the event, Emmanuel Akabe, the state deputy governor, lauded Mr Hudu for putting smiles on people’s faces.
Mr Akabe assured the people of more projects that would directly affect their lives.
The deputy governor further called on the people of Awe to sustain the peace and unity in the area and support their legislator and the state government to succeed.
In his remarks, Isah Abubakar, the emir of Awe, thanked Mr Hudu for the gesture and prayed to God to bless him abundantly.
The first-class traditional ruler urged the political class to find a way of addressing the hardship facing the people, especially the rising cost of goods in the market.
