He said the 5,000 beneficiaries were selected across Damaturu Local Government Area to benefit from the gesture.
Mr Kalallawa also said the gesture was aimed at bringing smiles to the faces of orphans and vulnerable people during the fasting and Eid-el-Fitr holidays.
He also said the gesture would foster a sense of belonging for the orphans and vulnerable in the community.
