Ramadan: Senator Natasha distributes grains to constituents
Lawmaker representing Kogi Central senatorial district, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has distributed grains to her constituents to alleviate their burden of purchasing food during the Ramadan season.
The items included 1,200 bags of beans and 1,200 bags of millet, which are being distributed to the people of Kogi Central irrespective of political affiliation.
Speaking during the distribution programme at her residence in Okehi local government, former House of Representative Member, Hon. Abdulrahman Badamasiu, said the distribution was initially delayed due to recent distractions.
Badamasiu explained that the distribution covers all 57 wards in the district, targeting religious bodies, market women, forums, and party faithfuls.
He urged constituents to pray for Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, especially during the last ten days of Ramadan fasting.
He explained that the Senator’s suspension does not take away her mandate as a duly elected Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, adding that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan has made a mark and has performed tremendously within just one year in office.
He assured that the lawmaker will continue her empowerment programs and training for constituents to become self-employed.
“In the coming week, a handful of constituents will be trained in various skills and empowered as part of Senator Natasha’s vision of creating employment opportunities for her people,” he said.
