The meeting brought together members and key stakeholders committed to promoting unity, social responsibility, and community development among Kano indigenes residing in the Federal Capital Territory.
Speaking during the gathering, the Chairman of the association, Ali Baba Ibrahim, popularly known as Ali Baba, said the initiative was established in 2009 with the core objective of supporting orphans and the less privileged.
He reaffirmed the group’s commitment to improving access to education for students and addressing the growing challenge of drug abuse among youths.
Ali Baba also disclosed that preparations are in top gear for the national inauguration of the association’s leadership, an event expected to attract dignitaries and members from across the country to Abuja.
According to him, the inauguration will usher in a new phase for the organisation, enabling it to expand its activities and strengthen its presence nationwide.
As part of resolutions reached at the meeting, representatives from the 44 Local Government Areas of Kano State were issued official introduction letters.
