Ribadu centre honours First Lady with cash palliative to 1000 students

The Ribadu Media Centre has given out cash palliative of N25,000 each to 1000 students as part of humanitarian gestures in honour of First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu.

The centre, named after National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, gave out the cash donation on Tuesday at a ceremony in Yola which coincided with independence day celebration.

Chairman of the centre and son to Nuhu Ribadu, Sa’adu Ribadu, explained that the cash handout was the centre’s own way of celebrating the First Lady.

We are doing this to mark her birthday, which was just last week,” he said, adding that the founder of the RMC, Nuhu Ribadu, sponsored it.

“The initiative is to empower the 1000 students with N25,000 each,” Sa’adu said

He added that there was also a borehole in Jimeta, Yola, dug for the community by Nuhu Ribadu to be commissioned later in the day, as well as a reaching out with N10,000 each to 200 patients to help with their medical bills.

A member of the Nuhu Ribadu family, Mustapha Ribadu who is also the state organising secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said the interventions were the brainchild of Sa ‘adu Ribadu who thought them up as a necessity in these difficult times. (Nation)
