A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and former presidential candidate, Dr. Gbenga Hashim, has donated reusable sanitary pads worth over ₦5 million to young girls across the North-Central geopolitical zone.
Speaking during the presentation ceremony in Abuja, the 2027 presidential hopeful, Gbenga Hashim, said the initiative was part of his ongoing efforts to support adolescent girls, especially those affected by the economic hardship in the country.
He disclosed that over 2,000 girls will benefit from the first phase of the distribution, while more beneficiaries would be included in subsequent phases of production and distribution.
Also speaking, one of the coordinators, Mrs. Judith Tsenvel Fidelis, the immediate past Commissioner of the Nigeria Girl Guide Association, Plateau State chapter, explained that the gesture was inspired by the growing inability of many young girls to afford sanitary pads due to the rising costs.
