The gifted items was organised mainly to reach out to vulnerable members of his senatorial district obviously affected by the current economic crunch in commemoration of mark his 60th birthday, on March 25.

The senator, who has been supporting the needy with food packs every quarter, increased the food packs to 10,000 food to vulnerable households.

Abiru said: I am using the special ocassion of my 60th birthday to identify with you, my esteemed Constituents in this current economic hardship largely due to wrong policy choices of past administrations, which the current government is trying to correct . It will be a smack of crass insensitivity for me to throw a social party, entertaining guests when most of our people are struggling to meet their basic needs, particularly food. Therefore, I  shelved all social plans and decided to celebrate by providing Food Packs to over 10,000 households in Lagos East Senatorial District.

“Like I have been doing every quarter, the categories of vulnerable people are : Widows, Persons Living with Physical Disabilities, Unemployed Youths, Women and the aged. For more inclusiveness and wider reach, vulnerable persons who were shortlisted  from online nominations will also benefit”. 

“I am optimistic that this pain will not last forever. Frantic efforts of the Federal  Government in ensuring food security, commodity prices stability and various interventions by our own State Governor  will ease the pains in  no distant time.

“My commitment to deliver on my mandate remains unshaken, on the three pillars of : Legislative, Empowerment/ Facilitations and Endowment, which my interventions are anchored on, will be further deepened to ensure greater good to a larger number of our people”.
