Ilorin, Kwara State– Senator Saliu Mustapha, representing Kwara Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has commenced the distribution of bags of rice to over 10,000 households across the 52 wards of the senatorial district.

Speaking about the initiative on Thursday, March 14, 2024, the Legislative Assistant to the Legislator, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulkadir Tunde, stated that the relief items include 20,000 bags of 10kg, 6,000 bags of 25kg, and 4,000 bags of 50kg rice.

AbdulRahman mentioned that the bags of rice were distributed to various groups including religious leaders, traditional rulers in Kwara Central, Islamic clerics, political leaders, members of Kwara Central APC, as well as people in communities and wards within the senatorial district.

He said the food relief was part of the senator efforts to assist the people in the sacred month and elevate the conditions of the less privileged.

According to him, the senator had given a directive to the constituency office to ensure that the food palliative reaches the most vulnerable segment of the community to ameliorate their suffering, especially in this sacred month.

The legislative Assistant expressed the Senator’s felicitations to President Bola Tinubu, Kwara State Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq; the Emir of Ilorin, Dr. Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, and all political, community and religious stakeholders across Kwara State, saying that the gesture was aimed to complement the efforts of the President and Governor AbdulRazaq to reduce the hardship in the country.

AbdulRahman reiterated the commitment of Senator Mustapha to uplifting the living conditions of his constituents through the facilitation of projects and programmes.

He, however, urged Muslims to use the Ramadan to move closer to the Almighty Allah and conduct themselves properly so as to maximize the spiritual and physical benefits inherent in the month.
