Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. I am deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Alhaji Sadi Godiya, a promising young businessman whose life was filled with hard work and great potential. His death in the early hours of today, after a brief illness, is a painful loss to his family, friends and all who knew him. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family and his business associates. May Allah forgive his shortcomings, grant him Aljannatul Firdaus and give his family the strength and patience to bear this irreparable loss. Ameen.

As part of our charity organization, the SAIHA Network’s Ramadan Charity Week in Kaduna, we have successfully commissioned the Rabiatu Memorial Orphanage Home. The orphanage will initially accommodate 50 orphans, providing them not only with shelter and care but also with access to education, mentorship and holistic support throughout their journey up to university level. This initiative reflects our belief that every child deserves dignity, opportunity and a hopeful future. May this effort continue to transform lives and inspire more acts of kindness within our communities.

Our charity network, the SAIHA Network, will commence its Ramadan Charity Week tomorrow in Kaduna. As part of the outreach, we will be visiting selected hospitals and orphanage homes to provide support to those in need. Ramadan reminds us that beyond fasting, true devotion lies in caring for the vulnerable, easing burdens and spreading hope. We pray that this initiative brings relief to beneficiaries, strengthens our bonds of brotherhood and earns us Allah’s mercy and acceptance. May our little efforts become a source of comfort for many and a means of lasting reward for all involved. Ameen!

We are visiting Sokoto Correctional Facility Every year, ahead of the holy month of Ramadan, we visit correctional facilities as part of our humanitarian efforts to support inmates and facilitate the release of those convicted of minor, less hardened offences who remain in custody solely because they lack the means to pay their fines. This year, we have chosen to visit the Sokoto Correctional Facility to continue this tradition of social responsibility. However, it is important to clearly state that our intervention is strictly limited to inmates convicted of minor offences. Our support does not, and will never, extend to individuals convicted of terrorism or violent crimes that resulted in the loss of innocent lives. The objective of this initiative is to give deserving individuals a second chance, promote rehabilitation and allow them to reunite with their families during the blessed month of Ramadan, while fully respecting justice, public safety and the rule of law.

So, I attended the Made in the North Festival today and I was humbled to see that I made it to this Wall of Fame. This acknowledgment truly means a lot and a reminder of how far we have come and how much more we can still contribute to the growth and unity of our region and nation. May we continue to inspire one another and work collectively to uplift Northern Nigeria and our great nation as a whole. 🇳🇬 ✊🏾
