According to the statement, the donation is part of the Commissioner’s commitment to supporting the government’s mission to elevate educational standards.
The statement revealed that upon assuming office, Dr Dahiru identified areas in need of improvement within the Ministry of Education and, through her nonprofit organization, We Care Foundation, initiated a range of projects to enhance the ministry’s facilities and services.
“We Care Foundation led the renovation and furnishing of the Commissioner’s office, the Confidential Secretary’s office, and created a new office space for the Commissioner’s Personal Assistant.”
“Additional improvements included landscaping around the ministry’s premises, the installation of a security barricade, and an attractive, easily identifiable signboard for the ministry.”
The statement further disclosed that the completed projects were officially handed over to the Ministry of Education on November 14, 2024, by Alhaji Saad Mohammed Dahiru, Co-founder of We Care Foundation.
The Permanent Secretary, Alhaji Ali Babayo, accepted the handover documents, commending Dr. Dahiru’s generosity and dedication.
