The Governor of Niger state and chairman, Board of Trustees of the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation (SABMF), Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu will today, inaugurate a 12-member Advisory Council of the Ahmadu Bello Foundation to proffer advice on socio-economic advancement of the North.
This was contained in a press statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Aliyu, Malam Danladi Ndayebo and made available to newsmen in Abuja yesterday.
According to the statement, the ultimate objective of the council is to brainstorm and come up with suggestions that would make life more meaningful for Northerners.
The statement explained that the Northern Governors Forum (NGF), in its bid to make the region compete favourably with its counterparts, had launched the Sardauna Foundation to identify and strengthen the region’s capacity as a regional development driver not only in Nigeria but in Africa.
“The advisory council would provide high level advice on how to revive the legacies of the late Sir Ahmadu Bello and also generate practical programmes that would improve the socio-political and economic condition of the region,” the statement said.
