First Lady of Nigeria, Dr. Mrs. Aisha Buhari has distributed food items to the people of Kano State through her pet-project Future Assured. The First Lady’s delegation was on a mercy mission to Kano state from 17th to 18th January, 2020.

The First Lady, in her goodwill message delivered by Alhaji Mohammed Usman Albishir, Special Assistant to the President on Organization of African First Ladies for Development (OAFLAD) said her passion for ending hunger and childhood malnutrition does not start and end with covering meetings and making compound declarations. She said she believed in being practical and taking action towards a definite tangible desire.

“It was this passion that drove me and my team in 2016 to roll out the GET INVOLVED nutrition campaign, where we mobilized food support through a crowd sourcing mechanism for vulnerable population.” She said.

Mrs. Buhari said as mother of the nation, she is driven by love and compassion for the weak and the most vulnerable in our society.

“Today, my team and I are once again here in Kano in continuation of our efforts in reaching out to the people of Kano State through the food distribution program for the benefit of the masses”. The First Lady also added that similar support is currently ongoing throughout the country.
