The lawmaker representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, on Saturday distributed 600 bags of 50kg rice to constituents to alleviate their burden of purchasing food during the Easter season.
In a press statement issued on Saturday by Arogbonlo Israel, Chief Press Secretary to Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, it was stated that the distribution, which cuts across party lines, targeted various groups including religious bodies, market women, vulnerable people, forums, and party faithful across the 57 wards of the five local government areas in the senatorial district.
The beneficiaries included religious bodies, market women, vulnerable people, forums, and party faithful, among others.
Speaking during the distribution programme at the senator’s residence in Okehi Local Government Area, former House of Representatives Member, Hon. Abdulrahman Badamasiu, urged constituents to continue to support and pray for Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, especially during the festive period.
He explained that the Senator would continue to bring democratic dividends to the people despite her suspension by the Senate.
It is worth recalling that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan had earlier distributed 2,400 bags of grains during Ramadan and organised training and empowerment programmes despite being suspended by the Senate.
