“Our intention when we came here was to donate 500 packages for 500 students, but when we saw the development of the university as a result of the commitment of the Vice Chancellor, I therefore spoke with my partners. We have decided to feed 300 students for the next 25 days, so every day, we’re going to agree on the figures to donate,” he said.Prices of noodles have shot up remarkably with many forcing many to remove the staple from their routine menu.

“We have decided to do a special package for federal universities. The reason why we chose these universities is that these are where children of the downtrodden who need this support are. We started with Federal University, Dutse,” he said.Mr Danu said giving to society is an obligation clearly stated in Islam, which he believes in and is committed to seeing lives touched.

“In Islam, we have what’s called Zakat, whatsoever God has given to you, it’s a platform for you to touch lives,” he said.Mr Danu also called on everyone to play a part in alleviating the suffering of the downtrodden within society. “In Islam, philanthropy work is a sensitive position because some of these students do not have food to eat, or transport to go home, and some do not have food to eat as they wake up from their sleep this morning. We are encouraging many people because you don’t have to be a millionaire or a billionaire to give,” he said.

He promised that the Students’ Dean and the Students’ Union leadership would adequately share the food items with students who are in need.
