Memuinat Sulaiman, the best graduating student
with nine distinctions from Mustapha Comprehensive High School, Kontagora, Niger State, has
just been offered a scholarship to study a five years course programme at any
federal tertiary institution of her choice
in Nigeria.
Presenting the awards to the successful girl few days back, the
billionaire retired top military brass, Col. Sani Bello, whose philanthropic gestures is second to none in the country said that the award was part of his
efforts to promote gender equality and empower women across the country in
respect of culture and religion.
Bello urged states and local government to key
into the program in order to give more girls the opportunity to quality
education.
The occasion, which attracted men and women of like minds, was chaired by Hon. Godfrey Ishegbe, and had as chief host, Alhaji Usman Sanni Bello.
Also in attendance was Col Sanni Bello, the founder; the royal father of the day, His Royal Highness Alh. Saidu Namaska-Sarkin Sudan, Kontagora.
The visionary, Col. Sanni Bello counted his blessings as he took his guests down memory lane concerning the challenges resulting in the success story of today.
Bello’s prime purpose in life is to help others.
And if he can’t help you for a reason, he won’t hurt you.
The birth of Sani Bello Foundation, we were informed, was as a result of an undying love to help others.
The foundation came at a time that the voice of the ordinary man must be heard.
Today, we live in a society where the bridge between the ordinary man and the privileged is an unseen distance.
However, Col. Bello stands out among the privileged on an account of his outstanding sacrifice through youth empowerment and entrepreneurship.
