Star actress and philanthropist, Halima Abubakar has paid a courtesy visit to the Deputy Senate President, Hon Barau Jibrin, seeking his support to assist vulnerable children and aged persons in the society.
Under the auspices of her Halima Abubakar Foundation, the actress has over the years given lifelines to hundreds of vulnerable children, people living with disabilities and aged persons.
During her visit to Hon Jibrin’s office this week, the UN Peace Ambassador harped on the need for continuous support for vulnerable children, particularly in the north where they’re faced with the challenges of cholera and other life-threatening diseases.
She said that having embarked on a solo campaign for some years, her foundation is now ready to partner with the government to tackle the scourge that had claimed the lives of many innocent children in the northern part of the country.
The Deputy Senate President, who received Halima in his office in the company of filmmaker and SSA Mustapha Naburus-ka, and several members of the House Committee, commended the actress for her enduring commitment to humanitarian causes.
He therefore pledged his support to the humanitarian gestures of Halima Abubakar Foundation to rescue the leaders of tomorrow from the claws of the epidemic.
While acknowledging Hon Jibrin’s developmental efforts, Halima who was born and raised in Kano State, promised to support the community where Deputy Speaker grew up from in Kano State.
”I look forward to seeing more of his contributions to the projects by making life easy and meaningful for the less privileged persons, and more importantly to show them love and strength through empowerment,” she concluded.
