 The Wife of the Sokoto State Governor, Hajiya Fatima Ahmad Aliyu, has distributed 5,000 food items to women across the 23 local government areas of the state as part of activities marking the Ramadan season.
Speaking at the flag-off of the distribution, Hajiya Fatima said the annual initiative was designed to ease the burden on women and their families during the holy month of fasting.

She stated that the items comprising rice, spaghetti and cooking oil, would be shared among individual beneficiaries and women’s groups in all the local government areas.
According to her, each of the 23 councils will receive 100 bags each of rice, spaghetti and cooking oil to ensure fair and wide distribution.

In their separate remarks, the Commissioner for Women Affairs, Hajiya Hadiza Ahmad Shagari, and the Special Adviser on Women Engagement, Hajiya Zainab Umar Dasuki, described the initiative as timely and impactful, noting that it would improve the welfare of women across the state.
