The Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation has donated educational materials to 200 orphans from public schools across all 16 local government areas of Kwara State. The materials distributed to the schoolchildren include school bags, books, and tuition fee support.

Speaking to journalists during the programme's launch in Ilorin, the state capital, the North Central Regional Director of the organisation, Mallam Musa Aliyu, stated that the foundation is a non-political and humanitarian body established to improve the lives of vulnerable members of society.

“This initiative is just one part of our broader commitment to education in Kwara State and across the nation. We recognise that access to higher education is equally important, which is why we have also launched various Scholarship Award Programmes for brilliant but indigent students in tertiary institutions across the state.

“Just recently, we awarded scholarships to students from Kwara South and presented the second-phase scholarship awards to students of Muhammad Kamaludeen University, Ilorin.”

Aliyu, who said that the group believed that education is the most powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty and transforming communities, added that it remained committed to ensuring that children—regardless of their background—receive the educations they deserve.

“To our beneficiaries here today, I want you to know that this support is not just an investment in your education but in your future. We expect you to embrace this opportunity with dedication and determination because the knowledge you acquire will shape the leaders, innovators, and change-makers of tomorrow.”

The group said that it is open to partnerships and collaborations with individuals, organizations, and institutions that share in its vision of a more inclusive and educated society.

The regional director said that the activities of the group is concentrated in such areas as healthcare provision, educational advancement, youth empowerment initiatives, sports development, and leadership cultivation.
