On Tuesday, January 13, 2026, the Halymah Ibrahim Babangida Foundation (HIB Foundation) took a significant step toward advancing healthcare and social support in Niger State. In a courtesy visit to the Niger State Ministry of Health, the Foundation formally introduced its mission, shared its 2026 plans, and explored strategic areas of collaboration with the Ministry.
The engagement was more than a formal introduction—it was a dialogue about shared responsibility and collective action. Representing the Foundation, Chairman Mr. Afeez Abdulrazak outlined a vision rooted in empowerment and inclusivity. He unveiled plans to provide essential tools such as freezers, grinding machines, generators, sewing machines, wheelchairs, and walking sticks. These interventions are designed not only to strengthen healthcare delivery but also to uplift vulnerable communities across Niger State.
Speaking passionately about the Foundation’s guiding philosophy, Mr. Abdulrazak emphasized its five core principles: Conversation, Consultation, Triangulation, Implementation, and Evaluation. These principles, he explained, ensure that every program is designed with sustainability and measurable impact at its heart.
“We believe that true development comes from listening, engaging, and working hand-in-hand with communities and institutions,” Mr. Afeez A. noted. Share on XIn reaffirming its commitment to inclusive healthcare, the Foundation announced its intention to donate 70 wheelchairs and 127 walking sticks to the Ministry of Health. This gesture underscores its dedication to supporting persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, ensuring that dignity and accessibility remain central to healthcare delivery.
The Commissioner of Health, Dr. Murtala Muhammad Bagana, welcomed the Foundation’s visit with optimism. He commended the structured approach of the HIB Foundation, highlighting the importance of partnerships that align with the state’s healthcare priorities.
“Collaboration is the cornerstone of progress. We are encouraged by the Foundation’s commitment and look forward to working together to improve the quality of life for our people,” Dr. Bagana remarked.
This engagement reflects the Foundation’s broader mission: to work closely with government institutions and stakeholders in advancing health-focused initiatives that promote dignity, accessibility, and improved quality of life. By aligning its interventions with state priorities, the HIB Foundation is not only filling critical gaps but also strengthening the fabric of healthcare delivery in Niger State.
The visit marks the beginning of a promising collaboration, one that blends institutional support with community-driven action. It is a reminder that when civil society and government come together, the impact can be transformative.
