“The cash donation programme was held at the Speaker’s residence in Rigachikun Ward, Igabi Local Government Area of the state.
“During the interface with people on the distribution of the cash, Rt Hon Zailani pledged to give priority to the welfare and well-being of people in the society.
“The donation was part of the Speaker’s gesture to interface with people and assist less privileged as part of his day-to-day activities.
“His pet project, Zailani Absolute Care Foundation, started almost a decade ago through which it constantly takes adequate care of the aged, women, widows, and even children.
