Dangote Begins Distribution of One Million Bags of Rice to Nigerians

In a remarkable act of philanthropy, Africa’s wealthiest individual, Aliko Dangote through the Dangote Humanitarian Foundation, has initiated a massive distribution drive, handing out over one million bags of rice across all 36 states of Nigeria to benefit all nigerians.
This generous donation, valued at more than N13 billion, is aimed at alleviating the financial strain experienced by many Nigerians, particularly in these times of economic hardship.
The Dangote foundation didn’t stop at the distribution of rice; it extended its benevolence to Kano State, Dangote’s place of birth, by providing Iftar meals for over 10,000 fasting Muslims daily during the holy month of Ramadan.
Samira Sanusi, an official of the foundation, detailed this extensive feeding initiative, highlighting the distribution of 20,000 loaves of bread daily in Kano and 15,000 in Lagos, a project that has been ongoing since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020.
The primary targets of this extensive distribution are the less fortunate members of society, with food packs being handed out at Juma’at mosques, streets, prisons, orphanages, remand homes, and other locations within Kano city and its surrounding areas.
Musa Maikatako, a beneficiary from Tarauni, expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the initiative, noting how this gesture significantly eased the burden of fasting amidst financial difficulties.

For many like Maikatako, this act of kindness provides a much-needed relief, enabling them to break their fast with something more substantial than water.
This feeding program, originating from Dangote’s mother’s residence in Koki, has been an ongoing tradition for over three decades, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner to 10,000 Kano residents daily.
It stands as a testament to Dangote’s commitment to giving back to the community and addressing the immediate needs of his fellow countrymen and women during challenging times.
Dangote’s philanthropic efforts, particularly during Ramadan, exemplify the profound impact that individual and corporate generosity can have on society.
By directly addressing food insecurity and providing nutritional support, the Dangote Humanitarian Foundation not only helps to mitigate the effects of economic hardship but also fosters a spirit of community and solidarity among Nigerians.
