According to him, “A non-governmental organization, Widi Jalo Foundation, and another, Today’s Life foundation, came to our area and distributed raw food items.”

Another resident of Hotoro area, Musbahu Aliyu, said the action of organizations in complimenting with food during Ramadan was commendable.

He explained that he had also benefitted from food donations from Helping the Needy Foundation earlier in the month.

He said if many NGOs and wealthy individuals could venture more into such distributions, people would easily have access to food.
