First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has donated one thousand bags of rice to Christians in the southern part of Borno State to support them during the Christmas season and the New Year.
The donation was made to ease economic hardship and help beneficiaries celebrate the festivities with dignity.
The items were received through the Borno State Coordinator of the Christian Northern Nigerian Political Forum, Lami Ibrahim, who flagged off the distribution in Maiduguri.
Mrs. Ibrahim described the gesture as timely and impactful, saying the rice would be distributed across all southern local government areas of the state. She explained that although there were logistical delays, the support remains meaningful as Christmas is a season of goodwill.
