Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni has generously contributed N10 million worth of wrappers and Guinea brocades to the Orphans and Vulnerable Welfare Foundation.
Ibrahim Kalallawa, the Chairman of the foundation, revealed this information during an interview with the Newsmen in Damaturu.
The donation, aimed at supporting those in need, will benefit 5,000 beneficiaries selected from the Damaturu Local Government Area.

He also emphasized the importance of fostering a sense of belonging and care within the community for both children and adults.
Additionally, he highlighted the longstanding tradition in Yobe of supporting orphans and those facing difficulties by offering food and various essentials.
The donation of clothing aligns with this tradition, ensuring that everyone is embraced and supported.
