From Maawuya Bala Idris, Katsina
Katsina State Commissioner of Water Resources, Hamza Faskari, has doled out cash assistance and food items to Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) ahead of the Sallah celebration.
The assistance was also extended to youth, women groups and working journalists.
Speaking while handing over the assistance Faskari said it was aimed to minimise current economic hardship.
He further said the assistance is in response to the call by Governor Radda to assist less privileged people to overcome economic hardship.
The Wanban Faskari called on well-to-do individuals to provide food items and cash, especially to orphans, and widows to address the economic challenges facing them.
Responding to one of the IDPs Mohammed Idris commended the Commissioner for his concern about alleviating their suffering.
