Sallah: Bauchi begins distribution of ram

The Bauchi State Government has begun the distribution of sacrificial animals to vulnerable families and groups, to enable them to observe the Eid festivities in a good mood.

The Secretary to the State Government, Mr Aminu Hammayo, said this at the inauguration of the distribution exercise on Saturday in Bauchi.

He said the animals would be distributed to vulnerable persons, groups, political and traditional leaders, security agencies, and other segments of society.

Hammayo highlighted that the season calls for sacrifice, unity, and compassion.

“It is a period for communities to come together and share in the blessings of the celebration,” he said

Hammayo said that Gov. Bala Mohammed has directed the distribution committee to source the animals from the local markets across the state.

The gesture, he said, would support livestock traders and animal rearers, boost livelihoods, and enhance wealth creation in the society.

“The initiative aims at ensuring that citizens celebrate the festival in comfort and happiness.

“The gesture reflects the compassionate and people-oriented leadership of Gov. Bala Mohammed, who consistently prioritised the welfare of the people,” he said.

Also, the state Commissioner for Budget and Humanitarian Affairs, Amina Katagum, lauded the initiative, adding that it would improve the social and economic well-being of the people.
