600 beneficiaries were selected from Hadeija, while the rest 400 were from eight other Jigawa local governments, affected by last year’s flood.
In his remark, the Chairman of Mallam Inuwa Foundation, Dr. Hussaini Yusuf Baban, said Hadeija was the most hit by the disaster, hence it has the highest number of beneficiaries.
He said that they were careful in the selection process so that the right people will benefit.
“We consulted Local Government Chairmen, religious leaders and other stakeholders in the selection. Anybody that benefited here is a victim of this flood either at his home or farm,” he said.
The beneficiaries appreciated Inuwa Foundation and Qatar Charity for coming to their aid.
