Senator representing Adamawa North constituency at the upper legislative chamber has awarded a scholarship to child of a disabled mother.
The senator had, during a condolence visit to the Emir of Mubi over the demised of his younger brother who doubles as the district head of Mubi, extended his stewardship to Hajiya Hauwa Gulak,a disabled single mother and her son.
“I ordered a tricycle to be given to her that night with little funds to get few household things.
I also told my staff to enroll her son to school on my scholarship program.
“As I was talking to her, she broke down in tears. While I was still struggling to be strong, she drew a child to her and that’s when it dawned on me that she’s going about with an out of school child – her son.” He said
He made a special appeal to the general public to be kind to humanity irrespective of whatever religion,ethnic or social background they belong.
“For goodness sake, the tricycle is just N70,000 to N80,000. It is not millions. I am calling on all of us to embrace humanity and go back to those things that made us humans.
“Wherever you’re today, you can make a difference by helping just one person. We can do it.
“Seeing her crawl with her body in the sand and mud when it rains broke my heart. All that this brave woman needs is at least a hand propelled tricycle”, he added.
