A woman identified as Mallama delivered twin baby boys at an empowerment programme in Birnin Kebbi Sunday.
The programme was attended by Governor Nasir Idris and his wife, Zainab Nasare.
The gathering was under the auspices of a Nongovernmental Organisation, ‘Mu gudu tare, mu tsira tare’, as women converged on the Haliru Abdu Stadium, Birnin Kebbi, to garner financial support for profitable ventures.
Immediately the announcement of the birth was made, a member of the House of Representatives, Suru/Bagudo Federal Constituency, Bello Dallatun Ka’oje, donated N5 million to the nursing mother for her healthcare needs and the naming ceremony.
The woman came to the event in search of succour, when all of sudden went into labour and delivered male twins.
The mother and her babies were subsequently evacuated from the stadium to the hospital to undergo further medical care.
Chairman of the Kebbi Pilgrims Welfare Agency, Faruk Aliyu Yaro Enabo, donated one million wrappers to the association for distribution to its members to celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir.
In addition, he announced a donation of N30 million to the women on behalf of himself and associates, as well as donated a vehicle to the leaders of the organisation.
“Women are steadfast in politics and business, they are the vanguard of election victory, we shall continue to improve the wellbeing of women as practiced by our leader, Governor Nasir Idris”, Enabo said.
