The Kano State Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation has reaffirmed the state government’s readiness to sustain partnerships with donor agencies to improve the lives of the less privileged across the state.
This was conveyed in a statement signed by the Director of Public Enlightenment of the ministry, Ibrahim Abdullahi, following a courtesy visit by a delegation of the Muslim Charity Organisation to the Commissioner, Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Aliyu Adamu Kibiya, in his office.
Kibiya said the ministry remains committed to providing humanitarian services to vulnerable groups in the state, noting that collaboration with donor organisations was critical to achieving meaningful impact.
He recalled that the England-based Muslim Charity Organisation recently donated a 32-seater coaster bus to the ministry to enhance the smooth execution of humanitarian activities, an intervention received on behalf of the ministry by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
According to the commissioner, the ministry is charged with the responsibility of supporting the less privileged through various humanitarian programmes aimed at improving their welfare and livelihoods.

Kibiya further solicited the organisation’s support in areas including empowerment programmes, data digitalisation, Almajiri support, as well as the provision of school uniforms and bags for schoolchildren, stressing that the initiatives were targeted at improving the wellbeing of the needy.
Earlier, the Programme Director of the organisation, Irfan Rajput, said the visit was aimed at strengthening the existing relationship between the organisation and the state government, as well as exploring mechanisms for sustained collaboration.
Rajput assured the commissioner that the organisation would study the ministry’s requests with a view to supporting them and possibly introducing additional interventions in the state.
He reiterated the organisation’s commitment to continuing its partnership with the Kano State Government through the ministry to improve the lives of the less privileged.
