Mallam Ibrahim said, “the Governor established the Foundation to continue the good work of providing succor to the poor, adding “since 2018 we have been donating to orphanage homes and other vulnerable communities in the state, in addition to our primary responsibility of empowering young persons and women, sponsoring the education of indigent students, and offering health intervention to those with little or no resources to cater to their health.”

“The Executive Governor also provides humanitarian assistance to communities ravaged by natural disasters and banditry through the Foundation, Mallam Dan-Halilu reiterated.

The Directors of the orphanages poured encomium and prayers on the governor for bringing succor to the orphans who have no one to take care of them except God and other well-meaning persons in the society.

They prayed Allah to grant him long life and sound health.

The Uba Sani Foundation was established by Mallam Uba Sani in 2018 to provide intervention in education, health and economic empowerment. The Foundation has trained thousands of people, including youth and women in various vocational skills; provided scholarship to over 2000 high school students; and sponsored the treatment of many patients with health complications, including the congenial twins.

I like Uba Sani, he is a huge departure from his political benefactor.

The targeted killings in Christian dominated areas of KD must cease if he is to be taken serious

Congratulations to Governor Uba Sani on his new age
