From Noah Ebije, Kaduna

Senator Sunday Katung (PDP-Kaduna South) has commenced the distribution of 5000 bags of fertiliser to his constituents in Kaduna.

Katung, while flagging off the exercise in Zonkwa, headquarters of Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, said the gesture was in fulfilment of his promise to cater for the yearnings of his constituents.

“We give thanks and appreciation to God for making it possible for us to reach out to the less privileged.

“I want to task the distribution committee to ensure these items get to the right people who need them.

“If you are not a beneficiary, be happy for today’s beneficiaries and you will have yours because more of these items are coming”. The lawmaker said.

He solicited the support and cooperation of the people to enable him to do more for them.

Chairman of the distribution committee, Mr. Yohanna Allahmagani, stated that the beneficiaries cut across the elderly, widows, orphans, women and other vulnerable persons from the eight local government areas that make up the zone.

Allahmagani cautioned the beneficiaries against the diversion of the items to other purposes other than the one intended.

In their separate remarks, Chairman of Zango Kataf local government, Francis Sani, PDP chieftain, Dr Saleh Pashi, member representing Jema’a constituency at the State Assembly, Ali Kalat, commended the lawmaker for coming to the aid of the less privileged in the zone.

They described the gesture as timely, considering the harsh economic realities in the country.

According to them, the activities of Katung in the zone have further elevated the status of the opposition party.

They called on other well-meaning individuals and organisations to emulate the lawmaker in providing succour to vulnerable members of the society.

Two of the beneficiaries, Mary Joshua and Musa Auta expressed their appreciation to the lawmaker for coming to their rescue in these hard times.

Others who spoke prayed that God replenishes the lawmaker’s pocket and grants him the enablement to do more for the people.
