The Kano State Social Protection Agency reaffirmed its commitment to deepen collaboration with the Aliko Dangote Foundation in order to improve social‑protection programmes for the poor and vulnerable across the state.

The director‑general of KASPA, Fatima  Abdullahi, said this during a courtesy visit to the foundation’s office, according to a statement on Friday.

Ms Abdullahi was accompanied by a high‑level delegation of KASPA directors. She reiterated KASPA’s mandate to coordinate, implement, and monitor all social‑protection activities in Kano State, with the aim of reducing poverty, enhancing social inclusion, and strengthening livelihoods across the 44 LGAs.

Ms Abdullahi thanked Governor Abba Yusuf for the foundation’s long‑standing humanitarian and development support in Kano, stating that its programmes aligned closely with the state’s vision of a robust, inclusive safety‑net system.

She appealed for a stronger partnership, saying, “Given Kano’s size and population, a deepened collaboration between KASPA and the Dangote foundation will deliver far‑reaching benefits for vulnerable households. The Foundation has much to offer in social protection, and working together will multiply impact for our people.”

Sunusi  Abdulkadir, representing the foundation, praised KASPA’s establishment and clear mandate. He outlined the foundation’s micro‑grant programmes in 17 states, annual social palliatives and humanitarian initiatives, and assured continued support and inclusion of KASPA in future interventions.
