In welcoming the New Year on a memorable note, a veteran former BBC journalist and philanthropist Ibrahim M. Jirgi donated a wheelchair to a physically challenged girl who is being carried in a plastic container, in Kano.

The 19-year old physically challenged girl popularly known as Rahma Haruna hails from Lahadin Warawa local government area of Kano, was born in this way and usually carried in a plastic container from the outskirt of Kano, in to the metropolis to beg for alms for her daily means of survival.
