…As Royal Father Hails Philanthropist’s Commitment to Human Capital Development
Renowned philanthropist, humanitarian and elder statesman, Alhaji Sadiq Mohammed, Walin Ganye, has once again demonstrated his unwavering commitment to education and human capital development with a generous donation of ₦2.65 million to Model Islamiyya School, Ganye.
The Chairman, Board of Trustees of the International Peace Commission, whose generosity transcends religious and ethnic boundaries, has over the years distinguished himself as a detribalized leader and champion of peace, education and community development through numerous interventions aimed at uplifting humanity.
The donation was disclosed by the Secretary of the Governing Board, Alhaji Muhammadu Sani Jada, during a courtesy visit to the Gangwari Ganye, His Royal Highness Alhaji Umar Adamu Sanda, on Sunday.
According to Alhaji Sani Jada, the intervention forms part of efforts aimed at strengthening the academic foundation of the institution and enhancing the quality of education being offered to students.
To ensure transparency and effective implementation of projects and programmes, he disclosed that the school’s Management Committee, under the chairmanship of Hajiya Mairo Hamman Adama, has continued to provide strategic leadership, with Dr. Suleiman Gidado serving as Secretary of the Management Committee.
During the visit, the monarch was also briefed on the institution’s remarkable academic achievements, including the outstanding performance of a student who recorded the highest score in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) within Ganye Chiefdom.
Alhaji Sani Jada further disclosed that the school has produced nearly 100 graduates over the years, many of whom have gone on to complete university education and are making meaningful contributions to national development in various sectors.
Further details presented during the visit revealed that the ₦2.65 million intervention by the Walin Ganye is specifically earmarked for the procurement of equipment for Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Agricultural Science laboratories at Model Islamiyya School Ganye. The intervention is aimed at strengthening practical science education and improving students’ performance in science-related subjects.
The donation, according to the Governing Board Secretary, is intended to provide standard laboratory facilities that will equip students with practical knowledge and skills necessary for higher education and future careers in medicine, engineering, agriculture and other science-based professions. The intervention does not involve the establishment of any Artificial Intelligence (AI) centre, but rather seeks to complement the school’s renowned Arabic and Islamic studies with quality science education.
Responding, the Gangwari Ganye commended the Walin Ganye for his sustained support for education, religious advancement and human capital development, describing the ₦2.65 million donation as a landmark contribution towards building a brighter future for the younger generation.
The royal father expressed profound gratitude and requested members of the delegation to convey his appreciation to the benefactor on behalf of the people of Ganye Chiefdom.
He also pledged to personally reach out to Alhaji Sadiq Mohammed to thank him for what he described as a timely and noble intervention capable of accelerating educational development and societal progress.
Widely respected for his philanthropy and statesmanship, Alhaji Sadiq Mohammed, Walin Ganye, has continued to touch lives across religious and ethnic divides, earning admiration as one of the foremost advocates of education, peace and community development in Adamawa State and beyond.
