Uba Sani: Tinubu listens, takes measure to reduce pains faced by Nigerians

Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna state, says President Bola Tinubu is taking measures to lessen the pain of Nigerians.

Sani spoke on Thursday at the distribution of food items and palliatives for Christmas and New Year, at the Umaru Yar’adua Conference Centre in Kaduna.

He said the distribution of palliatives affirms the commitment to alleviating the hardship faced by Nigerians.

“Our dear President has initiated many social intervention programmes aimed at bringing succour to the weak, poor and vulnerable in Nigeria,” he said.

“He hears the cries of his people and takes measures to lessen their pains. He is taking steps to address our economic challenges. The future looks bright.”

Sani also commended Oluremi Tinubu, wife of the president, for her commitment to empowering the less privileged.

“As First Lady of Lagos State, she initiated many social intervention programmes to uplift the living conditions of the poor, weak, vulnerable and underserved,” he said.

“In the 9th Senate, she sponsored many motions and bills aimed at empowering the less privileged.

“Her Excellency was my dear colleague in the 9th Senate. Like the Mother that she truly is, she took good care of us her colleagues. We were always sure of receiving welfare packages from her during festive periods. Her generosity knows no bounds.

“As First Lady of Nigeria, she has not relented in her efforts at putting smiles on the faces of the underprivileged in our society.

“Her Renewed Hope Schemes for the Elderly and Women are clear pointers to her unwavering commitment to the welfare of our people.”

The governor added that over two million bank accounts have been opened for poor, vulnerable and underserved persons to enable them benefit from state and federal government’s social intervention programmes.

“We have gathered several times in this Murtala Square to distribute palliatives, agricultural inputs, grants, and soft loans to the poor, vulnerable, farmers and micro and small-scale enterprises,” he said.
