12,000 Muslims, Christians get food, cash support in Adamawa
A renowned philanthropist, Diaulhaq Abubakar, has provided food stuff and cash to no fewer than 12,000 Adamawa residents as support to Muslims and Christians during the Ramadan and Lent fasting.
Abubakar who is a Gubernatorial aspirant under the platform of All Progressives Congress, APC, 2027 and President of Blue community Africa foundation for humanitarian interventions, urged beneficiaries to understand that the items given to them is not for sale.
He said his action for the provision of the items to beneficiaries is best on God’s command of assisting the less privileged during such times.
Abubakar listed the items being distributed to include Rice, sugar, Maggi and cash incentives to the beneficiaries.
According to him, these will go along way to reduce the hardship faced by some of the beneficiaries considering the economic situation of some families.
He added that his foundation has equipped thousands of beneficiaries with life skills in the areas of agriculture, ICT, painting and education among others years back.
“These aimed at nipping poverty and shoring up productivity along critical windows of human capital development cutting across all demographic strata.
”We are not only dishing out material empowerment but we do skills training and sensitization. A lot of those we trained have acquired talents and are doing excellently well in their various callings.
” We have partnered with the Indian institute of technology Madras to see how we can engage in knowledge transfer.
We have also partnered Modibbo Adama University (MAU) so that we can leverage on the platform to provide a lot of skills when it comes to training on any vocation,” he said.
Abubakar said that in the present age of hyper-technology, a country that aspires to progress will not emphasize white collar jobs at the expense of blue collar jobs.
Malam Malam Umar Baba and Grace Amo who spoke on behalf of the beneficiaries appreciated the gesture and urged the wealthy individual to emulate the donor for more blessings in life.
They said, they were really in need of the items given to them and assured to take it for the benefit of their families.
