Story from Ibraheem Hamza MUHAMMAD
Hajiya Hafsat Kolere-Buni, the First Lady of Yobe State has established a foundation to continue assisting vulnerable youths to get education and empowerment.
The wife of Governor Mai Mala Buni at the unveiling of the organisation known as Ma’aruf Foundation in Abuja on Saturday said the foundation which is a non-governmental organisation was founded with a desire to spread across the country and with a primary commitment to creating initiatives in helping the people of Yobe State.
“The foundation is an impact-driven organisation with a relentless commitment to social change and sustained development.
“The foundation intends to embark on projects in the areas of educational empowerment and health in the months ahead.
“These areas are intertwined because they revolve around the region of Lake Chad which has affected millions of families and dislodged them from their livelihood.
“This has, in turn, contributed to the spread of insurgency in the North-East region, increasing poverty and displacement among the people with food and water becoming scarce commodities” Hajiya Hafsat Kolere-Buni stated.
Top dignitaries included the Emir of Zazzau in Kaduna State, Ambassador Ahmad Nuhu Bamalli and Emir of Bichi in Kano, Alhaji Nadir Ado Bayero graced the occasion.
Others were the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Saad Abubakar who was represented by Alhaji Bello Macido, Emir of Fika, Alhaji Muhammad Ibn Abali Idris was also represented by the Magajin Garin Fika.
Wealthy individuals donated to the growth of the foundation.
