The initiative was led by Hadiza Idris-Kuta, the commissioner for women’s affairs and social development, to help identify with vulnerable patients and newborn babies during the New Year’s Eve celebration.
The Commissioner visited various hospitals to distribute goods, show compassion to the families of the first born this year, and welcome the first babies informally as the “New Niger Lites.”
Idris-Kuta stated in a statement to journalists that the gesture was to reassure patients that the Niger State Government is committed to their welfare while they were visiting the hospital.
The Ministry is attempting to exhibit this as we enter the New Year with the spirit of giving and sharing.
This year, we have a lot of programs planned for women and children, starting with the vulnerable — women and children — to demonstrate that the government is always there for them.
