The Nigeria Muslim League Group (NIMUL) has commended Minister of Defense for State, Hon Bello Mohammed Matawalle, for his generous donation of over N500 million and tonnes of food items to those in need during Ramadan. This gesture aims to alleviate the hardships faced by the majority of people in Zamfara state and other neighboring states in the North West.

According to Professor Mika'il Jibrin, National Coordinator of NIMUL, "This gesture is remarkable, as it is one of the largest individual donations to cushion the suffering of the majority of people in the region." Minister Matawalle's efforts have provided Ramadan palliatives, including foodstuffs and cash, to thousands of vulnerable individuals across the North West, particularly in Zamfara, Sokoto, Kaduna, and Kebbi states.

Recently, Minister Matawalle distributed over N500 million to people across the 14 Local Government Areas of Zamfara state, targeting those experiencing economic hardship during the Ramadan fasting period. The group praised the efficient distribution process, ensuring beneficiaries received support directly without suffering or rancor.

NIMUL acknowledged Minister Matawalle's significant donation to mosques, carefree organizations, and the creation of free feeding centers across 14 local governments in Zamfara and other places in Sokoto, Kebbi, and Kaduna states. "His charitable efforts have greatly benefited low-income families, orphans, and vulnerable individuals in the region," the group said.

While commending the efforts of other state governments in the region, NIMUL appreciated their sacrifices and commitments to helping the needy during Ramadan. The group urged beneficiaries to dedicate their time to praying for the nation's unity, peace, and success in addressing insecurity challenges affecting the region.
