I write to express my appreciation for the efforts of the abovementioned foundation, sponsored by Dr. Bala Maijama’a Wunti, Chief Health, Safety, and Environment Officer of NNPCL. Their impactful, consistently implemented programs genuinely change the narrative to a more prosperous journey in Bauchi State.
The foundation in the state extends many humanitarian gestures to the development of youth and provides mentorship in many aspects of positive development that will help them change the narrative. In many aspects of life, ranging from agriculture to education to health, Wunti Al-Khair, with the support of Dr. Bala Wunti, is touching the lives of Bauchi State products.
These days, you can’t go to media spaces without reading them and making headlines about executing a particular project using the hashtag #Wakf. Bala Wunti, fondly called BW, has become a household name across the 20 local governments in Bauchi State. This is because no one could object to youth being picked from every LG for their activities to ensure fairness and inclusivity! I hail the programs director, Ango Mustapha, for that!
Come on, just recently, they organised programs in Bauchi North through the Katagum Youth League’s flag-bearing. The program was on climate change, which is being campaigned on globally, and it was successfully organised and implemented. This will greatly encourage the participants to use what they have learnt from the speakers to free their communities from all sorts of climatic issues.
On Saturday, 25th January 2025, the Wunti Al-Khair Foundation made a post on their social media handle bearing Wak Foundation, introducing a new program titled the Bala Wunti Tech Fellowship in collaboration with AltSchool Africa, for the interested growing populace of Bauchi State to fill the form online and submit it before February 1st, 2025, as a deadline for the application.
However, this tech fellowship provides access to quality education, offering financial support that every Bauchi graduate deserves. It also facilitates global learning by connecting with over 13,000 trained students across 83 countries through AltSchool Africa’s innovative courses, as well as providing mentorship and networking opportunities to enhance one’s education, among other benefits.
Moreover, the number of mosques and those who pray in them that were built through the Wunti Al-Khair Foundation, sponsored by Dr. Bala Wunti, is too large to count. In addition, the foundation has built an academy with which it will collaborate with a particular organisation in the United Kingdom to nurture and educate the younger people in the state.
Therefore, I urge the good people of Bauchi State to develop the habit of praying for the man and spreading words of encouragement so that he can continue helping people achieve their planned objectives against all odds!
With Bala Wunti in Bauchi State, youth would keep breathing the air of hope.
