For her unswerving humanitarian activities across Bauchi State and the Nation in general, the wife of the Bauchi State Governor, Hajia Hadiza Abubakar, has been conferred with the highest award for Humanitarian Leadership at the prestigious Zik Prize in Leadership Award (2017) by Public Policy Research and Analysis Center, Lagos.
Abubakar is the founder and initiator of Bauchi Sustainable Women Economic Empowerment and Peace Initiative.
Thousands of women and children across the state have benefited from the people-oriented projects by the initiative since its inception.
B-SWEEP’s overall goal is to promote national development that will improve substantially on the quality of life and living standard of Nigerians in both urban and rural communities, particularly the vulnerable group – the women of Bauchi State.
The award was presented to Abubakar by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
