The Special Adviser to the Sokoto State Governor on Poverty Alleviation, Barrister Sa’adatu Yunusa Mohammed, has reaffirmed her commitment to supporting women and youth across the state through humanitarian and empowerment initiatives.
Barrister Mohammed, who is also the founder of the Sa’adatu Yunusa Foundation, made this known during a visit to the women’s ward of the Specialist Hospital, Sokoto, where she donated relief materials and financial assistance to patients and other vulnerable women.
Speaking to journalists after the outreach, the Special Adviser said her motivation stems from a strong belief in compassion and service to humanity.
“Our religion teaches us to be there for one another — to support our brothers and sisters when they need us,” she said. “The foundation has always been focused on women and youth, and we are determined to reach those who are most vulnerable.”
She noted that her foundation has empowered over 250 individuals through educational support, skill acquisition, and health interventions, adding that more programmes are underway to reach rural communities.
“As the newly installed Gimbiyar Dange, I intend to build on what we have started by expanding programmes that promote education, health, and economic empowerment,” she added.
Barrister Mohammed also revealed plans to extend her humanitarian services to Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps within the state, stressing that her efforts would continue to cut across political, tribal, and religious lines.
“We are not stopping here. From here, we are heading to one of the IDP camps in Sokoto to show that we care,” she said. “You don’t have to wait until you have plenty before helping others — what you consider little could mean a lot to someone else.”
Meanwhile, Governor Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto has commended Barrister Mohammed’s commitment to community development, urging her to use her new traditional title, Gimbiyar Dange, to further contribute to the progress of Sokoto State.
Represented by the Commissioner for Water Resources, Alhaji Aminu Dodo Iya, the governor gave the commendation at the Emir’s Palace in Dange, where the District Head of Dange, Alhaji Bello Usman, conferred the titles of Gimbiyar Dange on Barrister Mohammed and Mayanan Dange on her husband, Barrister Ahmad Muhammad Musa.
Alhaji Bello said the honours were in recognition of the couple’s dedication to empowering women, promoting education, and preserving cultural heritage.
The ceremony, attended by traditional rulers, government officials, and community leaders, featured traditional music, dances, and cultural displays celebrating the emirate’s rich heritage.
