Tinubu Launches Nationwide Free Rice Giveaway for Ramadan and Lent

President Bola Tinubu has ordered the Renewed Hope Ambassadors to distribute rice across Nigeria to support citizens observing Ramadan and Lenten fasts.

According to a statement from the Director-General of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, the distribution will be coordinated through the group’s grassroots network across states, local governments, and wards to ensure fair reach and transparency.

The initiative is aimed at fostering national unity and demonstrating compassion during a period of deep spiritual significance for both Muslims and Christians.

“Ramadan and Lent are seasons of sacrifice, charity, and care for one another,” the statement said. “This distribution will ensure that families across Nigeria experience the spirit of togetherness during this sacred time.”

This follows a similar rice distribution last Christmas, reflecting the administration’s commitment to supporting citizens during key religious and cultural occasions.

The program will cover both Christian and Muslim communities, emphasizing the President’s focus on inclusivity and unity across the nation.
