As part of efforts to support the needy during the festive season, the First Lady of Zamfara State, Hajiya Huriyya Dauda Lawal, has donated Sallah packages to thousands of women across the state in celebration of the upcoming Eid-el-Kabir festival.
The items were distributed on her behalf in Gusau by Larai Musa Lawal and Hajiya Hussana Sani Muhammad, who explained that the gesture was aimed at easing the financial burden on women and enabling them to celebrate the festival with joy and dignity.
“We are distributing cows, rams, foodstuffs, and cash to beneficiaries selected from all fourteen local government areas of Zamfara State,” they announced.
They noted that the initiative aligns with the priorities of the current administration under Governor Dauda Lawal, which is committed to improving the welfare of the less privileged, especially at the grassroots level.
In her message, the First Lady urged the people of Zamfara to use the Sallah period to pray for peace and divine intervention in addressing the security challenges confronting the state and the nation at large.
She emphasized that the PDP-led administration of Governor Dauda Lawal has consistently made women’s empowerment a central component of its development agenda.
The distribution exercise targeted PDP women politicians, councillors, local government women leaders, female elders, and beneficiaries of the Hajiya Huriyya Dauda Lawal Trust Fund Foundation, among others.
Renowned for her longstanding philanthropic and humanitarian efforts, Hajiya Huriyya Dauda Lawal continues to champion initiatives that uplift the vulnerable and restore hope to those in need.
In her remarks, political associate Hajiya Hadiza Mai H expressed gratitude to the First Lady, describing the support as timely. She also urged beneficiaries, particularly those in rural communities, to ensure fairness and transparency in the distribution process.
The First Lady concluded by calling on the people of Zamfara to remain supportive of Governor Dauda Lawal’s administration as it strives to bring progress and stability to the state.
