President Bola Tinubu has initiated the distribution of food supplies to both Christian and Muslim communities in the South-East and South-South regions of the country.
The food distribution initiative is designed to offer support to citizens as they finish their fasting periods.
Uzodimma made this known in a statement shared on his X handle on Saturday.
According to the statement, the donation was launched in Owerri on behalf of Tinubu by the Imo Governor, Hope Uzodimma.
Uzodimma praised the President for placing a strong emphasis on the well-being of Nigerians, particularly during times of religious observance.
He urged Nigerians to take this time to pray for the nation’s advancement and the enduring wisdom of its leaders.
