The Kaduna-South Senator, Bar. Sunday Katung has distributed 5,000 bags of Cement to farmers across the eight Local Government Areas that make up the Senatorial District.
The Senator, while flagging off the distribution exercise on Monday in Zonkwa, the headquarters of Zango Kataf Local Government Area, said the initiative was to help cushion the effect of hunger that has grappled the country.
He charged the committee distribution to ensure that the fertilizer got to the intended beneficiaries who could not afford to buy.
” I don’t deserve the encomium render on me. We also intend to do more targeting another set of people in our community.
” It would be a cause not to give the intended beneficiaries of this fertilizer,” Katung added.
The distribution Chairman committee, Hon. Yohanna Allahmagani, disclosed that fertilizer was targeted at the less privileged like we; Widows, Orphans, and Youths to help augment their plight.
” It is hoped by the end of the day all the beneficiaries will have benefited from one bag of fertilizer each.
The Executive Chairman, Zango Kataf Local Government Area, Hon. Francis Sani (Zimbo), said,” We’re happy today because the Senator has put a smile on the faces of all of us, adding we need to pray for the Senator for all that he has been doing and for more to the people of Southern Kaduna.
” These fertilizers are for the less privileged and warn further warn the beneficiaries not to sell the fertilizer, stressing modalities have been put in place to ensure its purpose was used judiciously.” He stated.
Mary Joshua and Musa Auta, who spoke on behalf of the beneficiaries, thanked the Distinguished Senator for his gesture, praying only God would bless him.
” Whatever that you want may the Lord grant it to you at ease, promised to make good use of the fertilizer to cushion the effect of hunger in their families.” They stated.
End.
