This is to make families across Nigeria feel the spirit of oneness during this sacred period.
Renewed Hope Ambassadors, a political support group of President Bola Tinubu, has received directives from the President to distribute rice nationwide in support of citizens observing Ramadan and Lenten fasts.
This was disclosed by the Director-General of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, in a statement on Saturday.
According to the statement, the exercise was aimed at strengthening “national unity and demonstrating compassion during a period that holds deep spiritual significance for both Muslims and Christians.”
Uzodinma said the initiative demonstrated the President’s commitment to unity and compassion.
“Ramadan and Lent are seasons that remind us of sacrifice, charity, and care for one another.
Through this distribution, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors will ensure that families across Nigeria feel the spirit of togetherness during this sacred period.
“Under the directive, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors will coordinate the distribution through their nationwide grassroots network to ensure that families across Nigeria benefit from the intervention during this holy season when both Muslims and Christians are fasting,” the statement said.
A similar initiative took place last Christmas, when rice was distributed to assist Nigerians during the festive season, demonstrating the administration’s ongoing dedication to supporting citizens at key religious and cultural times.
The distribution will cover both Christian and Muslim communities, highlighting the President’s focus on inclusivity and unity.
