A House of Representatives member, representing Ajingi,/Albasu/Gaya Federal Constituency, Dr Ghali Mustapha Tijjani has flagged off distribution of 18,600 bags of grains to his constituents in Kano state.

Speaking at the flag off of the distribution in Kano on Friday, Panda said the gesture was to put smile on the face of his constituents, especially in the Holy month of Ramadan.

According to him, considering the current economic challenges in the country, he has no choice as a representative than to share some palliative to his constituents.

He explained that he will distribute 3600 bags of 25kg of rice and 3000 bags of 10kg of the rice.

He added that 6000 bags of 10kg maize flour and 6000 bags of 10kg of millet would also be shared to the constituents.

Panda further explained that the gesture, alongside disbursement of the sum of N20 million to 1000 youths in the constituency are some of his plans for the constituents in the first quarter of 2024.

“We will continue to support our people. We will be doing this up to the end of this year. This for the first quarter.

“In Q2 we will disburse farming inputs to thousands of farmers. In Q3, we will launch empowerment schemes to over 3000 youths and women.

“In Q4 we will repair and build classes and schools and roads. We will do what we can with the available budget to us,” he said.

In a remark earlier, Special Adviser to Kano state governor on political matters, Sunusi Surajo Kwankwaso, commended Panda for the gesture.

Kwankwaso, who represented the state government said the new set of the lawmakers, especially those from NNPP, is the best in the history of Kano for making efforts to touch the lives of their people.

According to him, the lawmakers are following the footsteps of the leader of Kwankwasiyya Movement, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso in putting efforts to help the common man.

While commending the lawmaker for the gesture, Kwankwaso urged his colleagues to follow suit.

“To those that have not gotten this foodstuffs, i assure you that this is the tip of the iceberg as your turn is coming soon. You will be smiling because i believe you have a good representative,” he said.
