Senator Oluremi Tinubu expressed appreciation to the government and people of Bauchi State for the warm reception accorded her and her delegation during their visit to the state.

She urged the beneficiaries to use the items for the intended purpose and ensure that the intervention reaches families and individuals who are genuinely in need.
