A GREATER JIGAWA ✊🏻
Today in Hadejia, I had the honour of receiving Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for the North-West launch of the National Community Food Bank Programme. I was delighted that Jigawa State was chosen to host this important initiative, which will help improve access to nutritious food for vulnerable children, pregnant women and nursing mothers.
Behind every policy are real people, real families and real challenges. Food security is not only about producing enough food; it is also about making sure those who need it most are not left behind. That is why this programme fits naturally with the work we have already begun in Jigawa through our Food and Nutrition Policy, our Social Protection Policy and the MASAKI Nutrition Programme.
I was pleased to share some of the progress we have made over the last few years. Through the MASAKI programme alone, we screened about 245,000 children in 2024 and over 382,000 in 2025, while the number of children recovering from moderate acute malnutrition increased from about 19,000 to more than 43,000. We also trained 600 women to produce nutritious complementary food using locally available ingredients, helping to improve child nutrition while supporting household livelihoods.
I also assured the First Lady that, as Governors of the North-West, we will give this programme the support it deserves. We understand the responsibility that comes with it. By providing storage and distribution facilities, supporting food bank centres and working closely with communities and our partners, we can ensure that assistance reaches the families it is intended for.
I was equally delighted that Her Excellency commissioned the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Academy and the Oluremi Tinubu Clinic, two important public facilities built by the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA). These projects will expand access to quality education and healthcare for our people while complementing our administration's efforts in human capital development. I sincerely appreciate NITDA, under the leadership of its Director General, Malam Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, for this thoughtful investment in Jigawa State and for the positive impact it will have on our communities.
I thank Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for choosing Jigawa State to host the North-West launch, and I appreciate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the continued attention being given to food security, healthcare and social welfare. My gratitude also goes to my colleague Governors, our traditional rulers, development partners and everyone who contributed to the success of today's event. May Allah bless our efforts, strengthen our communities and continue to bless Jigawa State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

It is a sin in Islam to think you are superior to anyone, and it is also a sin in Islam to think you are inferior to anyone. you've heard the first part often, don't ever forget the second part.
