Societal situations that include socioeconomic hardships
have necessitated individual reactions with the intention of alleviating the
difficulties being encountered.
This has in many ways changed the lives of individuals and
moved their social status ahead by placing them in a better class than they
were.
Such interventions and humanitarian gestures are the ones
provided by a leading philanthropist, Ambassador Ahmad Rufa’i Abubakar. CON.
People are affected by poverty and hardship due to lack of
good economic policies and it’s impact on the populace.
People are looking for ways to survive and at least meet
up with their basic needs in life but might not be able to achieve such due to
absence of the needed facilities.

sources or finance resources.

the weaknesses and founded solutions to them.

where they are taught skills in various trades and provided with the required
tools to make good use of their acquired skills.

communities to make available help for the needy in various ways including
supporting community-based organizations.
He had even provided scholarships for youths in the state

loosing it due to lack of needed resources to pursue such dreams.
In recent times, the Sardaunan Katsina, having
comprehended the mass exodus of youths towards social media activities, came up
with an idea to give them more positive direction in that.
Instead of engaging in immoral and socially degenerate
acts, he designed a training for youths who are social media handler on how
best to use the platform to promote societal virtues, ethics and morality and
also make money from that.

of youth that are active on social media were given a direction.
They were trained on how to help their and promote their
communities on the social media and how to also make money using the various
platforms.

activities of fake news and senseless personal attacks. They were encouraged to
become positive content creators that will not only be educative and
enlightening, but also generate wealth.

have brought about positive developmental changes in the state through philanthropic
and humanitarian services to the state.
