The Niger State Government has commended the Federal Government for the provision of 3774 six Kg cooking gas cylinders to be distributed amongst the most vulnerable women across the state.

Commissioner for Women Affairs, Tasala Ibrahim, made the commendation while distributing the items to the beneficiaries in Minna on Friday.

Tasala said that the cooking gas cylinders provided will go a long way to support the vulnerable women across the 25 local government areas of the state.

She added that the provision of the cylinders will also reduce the indiscriminate felling of trees and avoid desert encroachment.

The commissioner appreciated President Muhammadu Buhari through the Federal Ministry of Women’s Affairs for their kind gesture. She said the cylinders would be distributed to all the 25 LGAs.

The Permanent Secretary, Women Affairs, Kaltum Dauda, said that the gas cylinders were not for sale and urged the women to make judicious use of the product as they were monitored to avoid being blacklisted if they are found wanting.

Some of the beneficiaries of the product appreciated the government and assured them that they will make the best use of the product.
