The Sultan of Sokoto Foundation for Peace and Development has reached a partnership pact with Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) to advance education, healthcare, and youth empowerment across Nigeria.
The partnership was unveiled at a courtesy visit by the delegation from the Foundation, led by its Director, Malam Aminu Inuwa Muhammad, at the Council Chamber of the college. The delegation was received by the Rector, Dr Ibraheem Adedotun Abdul, and other principal officers of the college.
In his address to the college management, Muhammad explained that the Foundation, which was established in 2014 under the leadership of His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, the Sultan of Sokoto, has a mission to support communities affected by conflict, poverty, and insecurity.
Mohammed explained that over the years, it has partnered with international organisations such as UNICEF, UN Women, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Malala Foundation on projects ranging from routine immunisation to girls’ education.
One of its most ambitious projects, Muhammad said, is the establishment of an all-female university in Sokoto, modelled after the American system, with a focus on nursing, medical laboratory sciences, and other health-related courses.
“Our goal is to address the needs of vulnerable communities by providing healthcare, education, and support for young people, and partnering with YABATECH offers an opportunity to scale this impact nationwide,” he added.
In his response, the Rector, Abdul, praised the Foundation’s initiatives, noting that the College shares similar values of service and community development.
