Sallah: NTIC Foundation slaughters 326 cows for the needy

The Nigerian Tulip International Colleges Foundation (NTICF) has donated 326 cows in 19 states to assist families who could not afford to buy rams and cows to celebrate Sallah.

The Director of NTIC Foundation, Mr. Behlul Basaran, said the gesture was to extend human kindness to the society.

“We are concerned about the less privileged in the society, that is why our initiatives are designed to have an impact in their daily lives. This Sallah celebration over 275 cows was killed, and over 20,000 families benefited with 3kg of meat each across 20 states in Nigeria,” he said.

Mr. Basaran stated that a map of IDP camps and rural communities was drawn and various distribution vans were sent to these areas under close supervision to ensure that the aim is achieved.

During a visit to one of the IDP camps, there was excitement in the air. Musa Ibrahim, one of the recipients at an IDP camp in Area One in the Federal Capital Territory, said: “The gesture by NTIC foundation is a welcome development and may Allah continue to bless them abundantly.”

Speaking earlier, Communication Director of the NTIC Foundation, Mr. Joshua Ocheja, said the NTIC Foundation as a policy felicitates with Muslim and Christian faithful during festive seasons like Sallah, Christmas, Easter, and others.
