A Dubai-based company, Saitama LLC, has distributed educational materials to no fewer than 500 less privileged pupils in two primary schools in Kano.
At the presentation ceremony, the company’s representative, Mr. Abubakar Umar, said the effort was part of the company’s commitment to give back to education in the state and to encourage the students.
This was contained in a statement he issued which was obtained by Blueprint Weekend Friday in Abuja.
“Saitama has kick-started its second wave of charitable donations to less privileged schools on the 6th of October, 2022. This is in pursuance of one of its objectives which is to promote an enabling environment and access to education around the globe.
“The donation of 200 school bags; 10,000 exercise books, writing materials and refreshments commenced with Yan Shana Primary School in Kano on 6th of October 2022.
“Another beneficiary of the donation is Unguwa Uku Model Primary School, Kano,” the statement read in part.
According to the statement, the first phase of donation to schools was carried out in October 2021 in Kano.
“The second wave started in October of 2022 with a plan to expand the donations to as many schools as possible across the country.”
Umar disclosed that similar donations had been carried out in Kenya, Dominican Republic and The Philippines.
