Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani
The Special Assistant to the Governor of Kaduna State on the School Feeding Programme, Fauziya Buhari-Ado, has urged Nigerians to remain hopeful for a brighter future despite the prevailing hardship in the country.
Buhari-Ado made this known in a statement she signed on Thursday.
According to the statement, the aide made this disclosure when she was honoured as one of the 100 most notable Africans at a Business Investment Summit in Kigali, Rwanda.
She assured that Nigeria, like other African countries, will surely overcome the challenges of underdevelopment it is currently facing.
“Never, never give up. Africa is rich. We have talented people. Let us work together and make a difference in our own small ways. The economic hardship Nigerians are enduring is evident but not unique to our country.
“Yet the world recognises the resilience of Nigerians, as demonstrated by our presence here. Let us pray for our dear country Nigeria and remain positive and hopeful for a brighter future for both our nation and the rest of the continent,” she said.
Fauziya Buhari-Ado, who spoke at the event about the role of women in driving transformative change in society, called for concerted efforts to address the socio-economic challenges facing the African continent.
Reflecting on her own sacrifices, she noted how she had set aside her personal business endeavours and time to improve school enrolment and retention among vulnerable and underprivileged pupils through the school feeding programme in Kaduna State. She urged fellow awardees to continue their efforts to positively impact their societies across the continent.
Fauziya expressed her appreciation to Governor Uba Sani and several dedicated individuals in Kaduna State for their invaluable support and contributions towards the successful enrolment of no fewer than 25,000 school pupils across the 23 local councils in the state’s school feeding programme.
