Nearly half the country is under the age of eighteen, and roughly a third of school-age children aren’t in a classroom. The whole point of Children’s Day is to keep that reality in the room, not let it disappear beneath the celebrations.
That is also why we try, in our own way, to do more than simply mark the day. Over the years, the #ABSFoundation has supported thousands of orphaned and vulnerable children across the country with school fees, books, and other essentials to help them stay in school and start the term properly.
Even then, it is only a small contribution when you think about how many children still need that kind of support. Small in the grand scheme, yes. But not insignificant. And certainly not the end of the work.
And so, as we celebrate today, spare a thought for the children who will not be part of the festivities. The ones hawking in traffic. The ones at home caring for younger siblings. The ones in IDP camps. The ones nobody is planning anything for.
They deserve this day just as much as anyone else. They are the reason we keep doing the work.
Happy Children’s Day. #ChildrensDay2026
Wishing every Muslim home a joyful and blessed Sallah.
Barka da Sallah from all of us at the Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation. 🌙

They asked. We listened. We delivered.
Three weeks ago, a group of Aso-Ofi weavers in Ilorin reached out to the #ABSFoundation and told us exactly what was holding their businesses back.
Yesterday, every single one of them got what they asked for — down to the last item on the list. Weavers came in from wards across Ilorin West, Ilorin East and Ilorin South, and not one person left empty-handed.
That’s decent work taking root at the grassroots #SDG8, and a real step away from poverty for the families behind every loom #SDG1.
Here’s why this matters:
Aso-Ofi isn’t just cloth. It’s been putting food on tables for generations. It’s history you can wear. So when we stand with the people behind the loom, we’re protecting something much bigger than a business — we’re protecting a piece of who we are.
To every weaver who showed up yesterday — thank you for keeping the loom alive! 💙

Yesterday, the #ABSFoundation disbursed financial support to women entrepreneurs through our Women Financial Empowerment Support Programme. What really stood out were the stories — women building businesses, raising families, and still showing up every day for their communities.
For many of them, this support is the extra push they need to grow what they’ve worked so hard to build.
We’ll be checking in monthly to see how their businesses are growing, because what matters is not just giving support, but seeing real progress over time.
Progress isn’t measured by the height of a crane, but by the grit of the hands that build it. Today, we salute the architects of our nation—our workers.
So today, if you can, put your feet up and relax—you’ve more than earned it.
Happy International Workers’ Day!
For worshippers, that means prayers without interruption and a space that feels calm, safe, and ready at all times.
We are grateful to the Imams and members of both communities for their warm reception and kind prayers for the Foundation, our founder, and everyone involved.
Earlier this month, the #ABSFoundation fulfilled our promise to the Muslim Ummah at Eyonbo-Anobi Mosque, Ipata, and Alore Mosque with the installation of solar power systems in both mosques.
We made a promise. We kept it.
Easter reminds us that no matter how long the night may seem, light always finds its way back.
Happy Easter from all of us at the Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation.
To the Imams, mosque committees, community leaders, volunteers, and vendors who worked tirelessly on the ground to make this possible, we thank you.
From all of us at the #ABSFoundation, Eid Mubarak to you and your families.
As we conclude this holy month, we are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make the Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation’s annual Ramadan Feeding Programme a success.
Through a coordinated effort across Kwara State, Niger, Sokoto, Bauchi, Borno, Kaduna, Plateau, and the FCT, we provided daily iftar meals to over 66,000 people who needed them most.
In a time when many people are facing real hardship, even a simple meal can mean a great deal.
As this year’s programme continues, we remain grateful to everyone who has helped make it possible.
#ABSFoundation#Ramadan2026#Iftar
Ramadan reminds us that the true meaning of fasting goes beyond abstaining from food. It is also about compassion, community, and looking out for one another.
That spirit is what continues to drive the Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation’s annual Iftar Feeding Programme. Across the nation, ABSF volunteers have been sharing meals at sunset so that families, and those in need can break their fast with dignity and warmth.
Across many of the communities we work with, women are the ones holding things together — raising families, pursuing education, building businesses, and supporting others.
Today we recognise that strength. Happy #InternationalWomensDay.
#GiveToGain#IWD2026#ABSFoundation
29 students in Ajikobi Central Ward were at risk of missing their WAEC exams due to fees. We couldn't let that happen.
Today, their registration is confirmed. This isn’t just about an exam—it’s about dignity, relief, & keeping hope within reach.
#SDG4#WAEC2026#ABSFoundation
We know it hasn’t been the easiest year for many, which makes this holiday even more important.
Let’s take this time to appreciate the gift of life and the people around us. May this season bring you peace and genuine happiness.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
