BOLA AHMED TINUBU FOUNDATION DONATES TRAILERS OF RICE TO IDP CAMPS IN BORNO
Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) Foundation has extended its hands of fellowship to the troubled spots in the northeast as the foundation donated two trailers of rice to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Maiduguri, Borno State.
The bags of rice were delivered to the IDP camps on Wednesday.
According to BAT, the donation of the food to the IDP is spearheaded by the Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. (Hon.) Dr. Mudashiru Obasa.
Speaking on the gesture, the Director-General of the Foundation, Hon. Ahmed Omisore, said the rice has been packed in 10kg for ease of distribution among the IDPs.
According to him, "the donation of the food items is a gesture to show that the former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is much concerned about the well-being of all Nigerians, wherever they may be living.”
Omisore noted that the Foundation was established purposely to cater to the needy in the nation’s six geo-political zones.
He further stated: “The Foundation is an advocate of peace. It is founded purposely to cater for the people especially the less privileged ones in our society.”
"It stands for what Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is, a lover of peace and advocate of a poverty-free society. The gesture should be seen as a reflection of his passion to make sure everybody in the country is free of hunger.” Tinubu, through this Foundation, has been supporting people in various capacities across the country.
"We know the current need of the Internally Displaced People is food and that is why the Foundation is donating trailer loads of rice to the IDP camps in Maiduguri. This is just the beginning of a gesture that will automatically get to other parts of the country,” Omisore declared.
Barrister Mobolaji Sanusi, director of media of the foundation, also reminded that “Just recently, the Foundation donated a brand new 18-seater bus to the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Lagos chapter. Our programs are in batches and we shall continue to execute them one after the other."
Sanusi further stated that the food items were “donated to support the effort of the Borno State Government in feeding the displaced persons in their various camps.”
He also said the Foundation represents the “good deeds of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a compassionate and generous leader with no bias for catering for the well-being of the less privileged.”
He revealed that the Foundation has different programs for all people in different categories which would be executed in phases.
