ALIYU CARE FOUNDATION
Empowering Lives Through Education and Relief

Bin Abbas has provided scholarships for less privileged Nigerians, distributed food items to vulnerable communities, and delivered Ramadan food support to residents across Kano State. The Foundation runs active poverty alleviation programmes ensuring the most disadvantaged members of society are not left behind.
Bin Abbas Outreach for Disabled Children
Championing Inclusion for Every Nigerian
The Bin Abbas Outreach for Disabled Children supports
persons living with disabilities through targeted social
welfare and empowerment programmes. The initiative
reflects Amb. Bin Abbas’s conviction that truly
inclusive national development must reach and uplift
every Nigerian, including those living with physical
and developmental challenges.
A Gesture of National Unity
A Father’s Heart Across Regional Lines
During an official visit to Enugu State in March 2026,
Amb. Bin Abbas adopted a nine-year-old girl, Ugwu
Divine Favour Chizaramekpere, as his non-biological
daughter. He immediately directed his Chief of Staff
to formally enrol her in the Aliyu Care Foundation’s
scholarship programme, guaranteeing her education
through to university graduation.
The adoption of a child from the predominantly Igbo
south-east by a northern Muslim leader was widely
reported across Nigerian media as a powerful symbolic
act of inter-regional solidarity — embodying the very
unity that Amb. Bin Abbas has championed throughout
his public life.
