A non-governmental organisation known as Life USA has donated two cattle to the vulnerable in Loko Community of Nasarawa State.
This gesture which was made during the Eid-El Kabir celebration is to give to the less privileged in the community a sense of belonging.
Sounds of kakaki, a local musical instrument, signalling the commencement of the Eid-El Kabir celebration in Loko town of Nasarawa State.
It is customary for the Traditional Ruler of Loko to organized a procession on the street with members of his cabinet to felicitate with his subjects during Sallah.
The gesture which is in collaboration with Maple Leaf Early Years Foundation is to give the Vulnerable a sense of belonging during this celebration.
Authorities of the local council assured that the meat will be evenly distributed to the true beneficiaries.
A 64 year old man identified as Baba Bala Ibrahim is a retiree who resides in Loko. He was in a dilemma on how to fend for his family’s needs during this Sallah.
Just like other beneficiaries, the distribution of meat has now given Baba Bala and his family what to eat and a sense of belonging.
The gesture by the NGO is in line with the teachings of the Holy Quaran to give alms to the poor and this is being replicated in another community known as Makarahata Bauchi.
