In a powerful moment of recognition, the Emir of Daura, His Royal Highness Alhaji Faruk Umar, gave his royal blessings to the 9jafoodfiesta Initiative during a recent visit to Daura, Katsina State.
As our team continues its mission to empower youths, women, and persons with disabilities across Nigeria, the warm reception and royal commendation from His Royal Highness reaffirms that our impact is reaching the hearts of the people and traditional institutions alike.
The Emir, known for his strong support for community growth and youth development, welcomed our team at his palace. After learning about our programs in ICT, fashion design, culinary arts, and agriculture, he expressed his admiration for the scope and ambition of our vision.
“This kind of initiative is what our country needs,” His Royal Highness remarked. “It is heartwarming to see people dedicating themselves to empowering others without bias or borders.”
His blessing not only symbolizes a spiritual and cultural endorsement but also strengthens our bond with the local communities we aim to serve. With every blessing and endorsement, we are reminded that this mission is bigger than us — it is about a shared future where everyone, regardless of background, has access to opportunity.
The visit to Daura was part of our ongoing nationwide outreach where we aim to train 2,000 individuals per state in practical, income-generating skills. Our team engaged with local leaders, volunteers, and program beneficiaries to assess progress and plan future training sessions.
For our organization, this royal blessing stands as a milestone — proof that tradition and innovation can walk hand-in-hand to uplift society.
As we press forward, we invite community leaders, partners, volunteers, and donors to join hands with us. Together, we can rewrite the story of underdevelopment into one of empowerment, skill, and dignity.
