The Plateau State chapter of the Intellectual Muslims Forum has distributed bags of rice to Muslim communities across the 17 Local Government Areas of the state as part of efforts to support residents ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
The distribution exercise was carried out under the palliative initiative of Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, which involves the distribution of 100 trucks of rice and N1.2 billion worth of palliatives to states across Northern Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Speaking during the distribution, representatives of the forum said the gesture was aimed at easing the economic burden on vulnerable families and enabling Muslim faithful to celebrate the forthcoming Eid-el-Kabir festival with relief and joy.
Beneficiaries drawn from various communities across Plateau State expressed appreciation for the intervention, describing it as timely in view of the current economic realities.
The forum reaffirmed its commitment to supporting humanitarian initiatives and promoting the welfare of Muslim communities across the state.
