Under the leadership of my elder brother, Captain Jamil MD Abubakar and alongside like minds like Mohammed Jamal, we created this fund to support MSMEs and entrepreneurs that are based in the Northern region. I believe the fund currently stands at 100 million naira. An independent and non partisan set of judges will pick the successful applicants.
