The First Lady of Yobe State, Hajia Hafsat Buni, has distributed essential food items to 2,000 vulnerable women as part of efforts to provide relief during the holy month of Ramadan.
The initiative, which took place on Tuesday, March 11, 2026, targeted widows and other vulnerable women across the state’s 17 Local Government Areas. Hajia Buni, who also serves as the State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Initiative, emphasized that the gesture aims to ease the burden of fasting and support community resilience.
Represented by the Commissioner for the Yobe State Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Mairo Amshi, the First Lady reiterated the Renewed Hope Initiative’s ongoing commitment to empowering women and aiding vulnerable populations throughout Yobe State.
Each package included key staples such as rice, spaghetti, and cooking oil, items designed to help families cope with the demands of the Ramadan fast.
This distribution is in line with broader humanitarian efforts in northern Nigeria during the holy month, reflecting a focus on compassion, solidarity, and support for those in need.
The move has been welcomed as a timely act of kindness, highlighting the role of state leadership in addressing food security and social welfare amid economic challenges.
