Mrs Mohammed assured that her office and her Al’muhibbah Foundation will not relent in supporting women and children in order to advance their capacities.

She said: “I want to assure you that my office is ever ready to see that our people are in good condition. This distribution of empowerment tools is in continuation of our grassroot empowerment.

“This gesture will be extended to all the 20 Local Government Areas of Bauchi state in order to assist in reducing the level of poverty.”

Meanwhile, Mrs. Mohammed also inaugurated the Bauchi State Action Committee on Sexual and Gender Based Violence. 

She described the education of the girl child as key to minimizing violence against women.

She called on the people of the state especially parents to support the committee with information on cases of rape and other related offences for immediate action.

The First Lady therefore urged members of the committee to discharge the assignment diligently by contributing their quota towards addressing the menace. 

“Parents are advised to report any case of rape or gender based violence against women to this committee in order to provide them with legal services,” she said.
