The Church and Society known as HJDP in partnership with Global Peace Foundation of Nigeria has distributed rice to 200 households in Kaduna.
The Secretary of HJDP, Rev. Fr Onuh Ladi Sixtus during the distribution yesterday at Kukah centre, Kaduna explained that it was part of their assistance to Muslims in the holy month of Ramadan and Christians who are observing Lent.
Sixtus said that the gesture was also to bring unity, peace and religious tolerance among the residents of Kaduna State.
Rev. Fr Onuh noted that it was an annual event, saying that 2000 people were fed in 2 mosques in Jos, Plateau State and one mosque in Kaduna in 2024.
“We are promoting peace, unity and religious tolerance among our people and we targeted Abakpa and Angwa Shanu to promote interfaith dialogue”.
Sixtus called on the women to preach and promote peaceful coexistence in Kaduna, adding that without peace development is impossible.
The beneficiaries were vulnerable households in Kaduna drawn from Abakpa and Angwa Shanu communities.
Zainab Isah, Deborah Moses, Ruth Tagwai and Maryam Abubakar who spoke on behalf of the beneficiaries thanked HJDP for their kind gesture and promised to be peace ambassadors in their various communities.
