Former Zamfara State Governor, Alhaji Bello Matawalle has donated N200 million to various categories of people in the state for the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
In a statement in Gusau, the state capital, on Saturday, state Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Malam Yusuf Idris quoted the state Chairman of the party Alhaji Tukur Danfulani as saying that the beneficiaries included the members, stakeholders of the party, women, youth groups and associations.
Danfulani is the Chairman of the distribution committee.
“Other beneficiaries were orphans and the less privileged, Islamic scholars, media practitioners, and social media handlers.
“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”, Idris quoted Danfulani as saying.
Danfulani, who thanked Matawalle for the gesture, described it as timely as it would cushion the economic hardship among the citizens in the state, especially at the grassroots.
