Governor's WifeThe wife of the Katsina State Governor, Fatima Shema, has appealed to Nigerians and corporate organizations to continue to reach out to the physically challenged members of the society.

Mrs Shema made the appeal when she distributed food items and other materials to over 2,000 physically challenged and less privileged people across the state.

This has become a yearly practice to ameliorate the sufferings of some of the downtrodden and physically challenged members of the society.

Based on the National Bureau of Statistics, Katsina State is one of the poorest states in the country with a 74.5% poverty rate.

Further worsening the situation in the state is the high number of physically challenged people in the state.

The wife of the State Governor noted that there needs to be a multifaceted approach to fighting the endemic poverty in the state and at the same time help the needy in the society.

The Governor’s wife also advocated the need for philanthropists and corporate organizations to contribute in assisting the less privileged members of the society.
