Jiba, while distributing the items to youths, women and some farmers, said the gesture was aimed at supporting and empowering the less privileged as part of his campaign promises.
The lawmaker, implored them to use the items judiciously for the purpose it was meant for, assuring that other physical projects would be executed in all the wards of the constituency.
According to him, the empowerment scheme was part of his 2021 constituency project in all the 22 wards to alleviate the suffering faced by the people.
“My empowerment programme is a sure way of remembering my people and to say thank you for the mandate given to me to represent them.

Also speaking, the chairman of the FCT PDP, Sunday Zaka, commended the lawmaker for identifying and coming up with the empowerment scheme, which he said would help alleviate suffering in the constituency.
