The Kebbi State chapter of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) has distributed Ramadan packages to over 100 internally displaced persons (IDPs), less privileged individuals, and orphans in Birnin Kebbi Local Government Area. The distribution, led by FIDA Chairperson Barrister Hauwa Usman Usara and Solicitor General and Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Justice, Kebbi State, Barrister Aishatu Abbas, aimed to provide support to vulnerable groups during the holy month of Ramadan.
The distribution was flagged off at the IDP camp behind Oando fuel Area in Birnin Kebbi, and later proceeded to Tungar Buzu village, where similar gestures were made to less privileged individuals and orphans.
"FIDA is not only providing free legal services to less privilege, orphans, and IDPs, but also assists in donating food items and educational materials," Usara said. "Today's donation is in collaboration with Her Excellency, wife of the Kebbi State Governor, Hajiya Zainab Nasare Nasir Idris".
The packages included rice, milk, sugar, and other essential items. Usara reminded female IDPs to report cases of gender-based violence, emphasizing that FIDA and the Ministry of Justice are committed to providing legal assistance.
"For any case of GBV, rape, or molestation, please don't hesitate to contact us. We have mobile numbers available for easy contact, and we assure you of prompt response and support," Usara added.
Barrister Aishatu Abbas, Solicitor General and Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Justice, Kebbi State, expressed the Ministry's readiness to support vulnerable groups, saying, "We are here to assist you with a little token Ramadan package because we feel you are important to us".
Malama Aisha Abubakar, leader of the IDPs at the Oando fuel Area camp, and Malama Amina Umar, leader of the beneficiaries at Tungar Buzu village, expressed gratitude for the support on behalf of other beneficiaries, thanking FIDA and the Governor's wife, Hajiya Zainab Nasare Nasir Idris, for the gesture.
