Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has launched the distribution of N50,000 each as cash support to One Thousand orphans(1000) Across the 17 Local Government Areas of the state.
Governor Buni said, the support programme initiated by the present administration in the state to support and give the orphans in a sense of belonging especially during festivities.
He stated that, Qur’an encouraged people to support and provide succour to orphans and the needy in the society.
“I wish to commend individuals and organisations who have during this period of the holy month of Ramadan been providing food to the needy and other vulnerable persons, thereby complementing government efforts. This spirit of giving should be encouraged to go beyond the month of Ramadan.”

“The importance of such kind gesture is that it promotes mutual respect and love, and in the same vein, eliminates hatred and envy. Above all, it earns Allah’s Pleasure and attracting covert and overt blessings to our individual and collective endeavours, with huge successes.
“It is important to note that this administration is very sensitive to the welfare of orphans in the state for them to live a normal and dignified life. Many orphans are today beneficiaries of government programmes with a special care given to them to pursue education at all levels.
Governor Buni revealed that, a very good percentage of orphans have been enrolled and sponsored by the State government to pursue education from primary schools up to tertiary level within and outside the Country. Furthermore, many of them were enlisted in the Tsangaya Education System in the State and I am happy to note that they are making impressive performances.
“I wish to commend our clerics for reminding the people on the need, and the benefits of supporting the orphans. You should continue with such beautiful lessons both during and after the Ramadan fasting period.”
“Let me sieze this opportunity to appeal to the good people of Yobe State to take the opportunity of this holy month to continue to pray for peace and prosperity of the State and the Nation at large” Governor Buni added.
