On this year’s International Day of Charity, celebrated under the theme “Spreading Generosity and Strengthening Community Support,” Her Excellency, Hajiya Lami Ahmadu Fintiri, touched the lives of 1,500 women, youths, and vulnerable groups across Adamawa State through the distribution of relief items.
This noble initiative was carried out in collaboration with the Northern Governors’ Wives Forum and the Fresh Air Pro-Life Empowerment Foundation, led by the First Lady of Adamawa State. It reflects her deep commitment to humanity and her belief in the power of kindness to ease burdens and restore hope.
Delivering Her Excellency’s message, the Honourable Commissioner for Transport, Hon. Wunfe B. Anthony, explained that the intervention is more than material support but a symbol of love, encouragement, and reassurance.
She emphasized that Hajiya Lami constantly carries the people of Adamawa in her heart.
The First Lady urged everyone not to see charity as the duty of a few but as a collective responsibility. She reminded all that even the smallest act of kindness can brighten someone’s life, especially for the less privileged in society.
In her welcome address, Mrs. Hilda Makonto, mni, commended Hajiya Lami for setting a record of compassion and service in Adamawa State, noting that her contributions will remain a reference point for future First Ladies.
Goodwill messages were delivered by Mrs. Faith Balthiya Wesley, wife of the Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly; Hajiya Huraira Hamid, wife of the Head of Service; Hajiya Rasheeda Suleiman, wife of the ALGON Chairman; and Hon. Sarah Nathan, Vice Chairperson of Yola North. They all praised Hajiya Lami Fintiri for her consistent support and timely interventions, which have continued to ease the hardship of many families.
Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Mallam Salihu Waziri and Mrs. Nina Joel Abraham expressed their heartfelt gratitude, praying that God’s mercy and blessings continue to reward the First Lady for her tireless efforts in uplifting women, youths, and orphans in the state.
The event was graced by dignitaries including the Commissioner of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hon. Neido G. Kofulto; wives of members of the State House of Assembly; wives of LGA Chairmen and Vice Chairmen; wives of Commissioners and Permanent Secretaries; Her Excellency’s coordinators from the 21 LGAs; as well as representatives from Christian and Muslim groups.
