The Nigeria Union of Local
Government Employees (NULGE) has commended Alhaji Abba Mato, the Chairman of
Daura Local Government Council of Katsina State, for donating seven bulls to
the union for the recent Sallah festival.
Malam Habibu Bala, the
Daura local government branch chairman of the union, made the commendation in
an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Daura on Monday.
Bala said the council
released N750,000 to the union which was used in procuring the bulls,
slaughtered and distributed the meat free of charge to the 1,200 local
government staff.
“The bulls were procured
and slaughtered a head of the last Sallah. I think it was two days to the
festival,’’ he said.
He noted that the gesture
was unprecedented and contributed in promoting the welfare of the workers and
their families as each of the staff went home with large share of the meat and
celebrated the festival in a happier mood.

dedication to duty and hard work.
