Musa donated over 900 bags of rice to each of the nine local government areas of the state. He also made available some condiments including vegetable oil and salt to his constituent.
The senator, while presenting the items through his coordinators in each of the nine local government areas, urged the people to cooperate with the government by abiding by all the measures taken to curtail the spread of the disease.
“My primary responsibility is the security and welfare of the people. We have been doing this and will continue to expand our reach to as many people as possible in my constituency in this trying times.
“We know that we cannot meet all your demands in these trying times of the country’s history, all that is expected of us is to continue to do the little we can, especially in order to cushion the effect of stay-at-home order.
