The Grand Patron of City Boys, Seyi Tinubu, has commenced the distribution of fasting relief packages across 36 states of Nigeria during Ramadan and Lent. The objective of the program is to support citizens during a period of prayer, reflection and devotion.
Under the City Boy initiative, this effort promotes unity and responsibility among communities. Speaking on the rollout, a representative, Oluwatosin Shoga, said it was “a demonstration of unity in action and leadership rooted in service.”
“The seasons of Ramadan and Lent remind us of the values that bind us as a nation: sacrifice, generosity and compassion. Through this nationwide outreach, we are reinforcing our belief that progress is strongest when communities stand together in mutual support,” the spokesperson said.
Distribution is through state chapters, reaching cities and villages. Outreach seeks engagement, growth and development for youth and communities. City Boy says it will advance hope and opportunity for every citizen through action, civic engagement and initiatives across Nigeria.
Observers say the program responds to needs during the fasting period and calls for cooperation across sectors and religions. Many volunteers are involved in the distribution at centres, mosques and churches. Beneficiaries receive packages that include foods and supplies to help them keep the fast.
Organizers say the effort will continue throughout the season and progress will be reported from each state. More distributions are planned before the end of the period in federation coverage.
