Today, I wish  to seize this golden opportunity to honour and celebrate an extraordinary individual, Hon.(Dr.)Aliyu Bello, the founder and CEO of Aliyu Bello Charity Foundation; Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Nasarawa State, and proponent of the famous annual Nasarawa State U-13 Inter-Primary School Football Tournament, for your services to humanity and society.

Your unwavering dedication to philanthropy has transformed countless lives and inspired a generation of change-makers.

Your non-profit Organization’s remarkable legacy is built on generous donations to worthy causes; tireless advocacy for social justice; empowerment of marginalized, less privileged and vulnerable people and communities; support for education and healthcare, and the arts; and an unrelenting passion for creating positive impact.

Through your selfless efforts, lives have been uplifted; hope has been restored; communities have been strengthened, while futures have been brightened.

During the 2024 empowerment programme through your NGO, held at the Ta’al Conference Hall, Lafia, precisely on Saturday, 10th August, with the theme, “EMPOWERMENT THROUGH EDUCATION:BREAKING THE CYCLE OF POVERTY AND DISADVANTAGE”, over 1,000 individuals benefited from your benevolence and gesture.

Like any other foresighted individual, I am thrilled by the compassion, vision, leadership, kindness, humility and humanity of Dr. Aliyu Bello(the Zarman Baban Lafia and Sardaunan Adogi).

Your philanthropic spirit serves as a beacon, inspiring the world to emulate your generosity, embrace empathy and understanding, and strive for a better and an egalitarian world.
