“The charity organization has been working in collaboration with other sister organizations and government authorities to provide training institutions and other essential services across African countries.

“These are some of the social protection initiatives that support under-developed nations to meet their expectations,” Mr Alhammudy said.

The Islamic scholar pledged to continue to pray for Zamfara and Nigeria for sustainable peace, religious and socio-economic prosperity.

In his response, Mr Matawalle thanked the organization for the gesture and pledged Zamfara Government’s commitment to the actualisation of the university.
