“This initiative is part of Mr President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritises the well-being of the less privileged.

“We remain dedicated to complementing the Federal Government’s efforts in tackling poverty and supporting those in need,” she stated.

She also urged philanthropists, corporate organisations, and well-meaning individuals to collaborate in similar humanitarian efforts, stressing the importance of collective action in uplifting communities.

The minister assured that the distribution would continue in phases and encouraged recipients to utilise the palliatives wisely.
