He said the Foundation, which has been at the vanguard of improving the welfare of the poor in society, decided to put smiles on the faces of junior workers in the state to lessen economic pressure on them.
The Foundation had last year empowered hundreds of petty traders across different markets in the state with N50,000 cash to boost their business.
The items were distributed across the 24 core ministries in the state.
Permanent Secretary, Special Duties, Lady Franca Ekwueme, who spoke on behalf of the affected workers in her Ministry after taking delivery of their quota, thanked the Foundation for the gesture which she said was the first of its kind from any private body.
She promised equitable distribution of the items to the workers in the junior cadre.
