RFI Hausa

Dear Hauwa,

I am delighted to hear about your journey from intern to staff member at Radio France Internationale (RFI) Hausa.You’ve truly followed in your father’s footsteps, carrying on his legacy as a dedicated and passionate journalist. He was a veteran in the field, and it’s clear that you’ve inherited his gift for storytelling and commitment to excellence.

Your work shines brightly, just like your looks. Your talent, intelligence and work ethic have earned you recognition and praise, and rightly so. 

You have a gift, Hauwa, and it’s not just your beauty or talent – it’s your passion, drive, and commitment to making a difference.

As you continue to grow in your career, I want to remind you to stay focused on your goals. It’s easy to get caught up in praise and admiration, but don’t let that distract you from your vision. Don’t let it go to your head and make you feel like you’ve already arrived.

Look to your professional colleagues, such as Madina Maishanu, and trailblazers like Kadaria Ahmed, who have paved the way for Northern women in journalism with their dedication and resilience. Take inspiration from their journeys and continue to push boundaries, tell impactful stories, and inspire others.

I pray that you’ll continue to excel in your career, staying true to your values and passion. May your path be filled with opportunities, and may your heart remain full of joy and purpose. May you always find strength in your convictions and continue to shine brightly in all you do.

With love, admiration, and best wishes,

Ukasha Kofarnassarawa

In a landmark move set to reshape the future of Nigerian club football, Kano Pillars FC has announced a major sponsorship agreement with Radio France Internationale (RFI) Hausa. The partnership positions RFI Hausa as the club’s main sponsor for the upcoming season, marking a significant step in the club’s quest for revival and excellence.

The deal, unveiled by new General Manager and Nigerian football icon Ahmed Musa, includes full kit sponsorship for all Kano Pillars teams — from the senior side to junior categories such as U19, U15, and U13. RFI Hausa’s logo will feature prominently on the team’s jerseys and across all official branding.

Beyond financial support, RFI Hausa will equip the club with modern media tools, offer training for the club’s media department in professional video production, and develop a comprehensive communications strategy. The partnership also extends to media collaborations and the publication of content on RFI Hausa’s platforms.

“This marks a new dawn for Kano Pillars FC,” said Ahmed Musa. “We are committed to transparency, progress, and excellence. Brighter days filled with success and glory lie ahead for Sai Masu Gida.”

Joe Penney, Director of France Médias Monde Nigeria, expressed RFI Hausa’s enthusiasm about the collaboration. “We are proud to partner with such a beloved club. We believe in the team’s vision and will help push the club forward as much as possible.”

As Kano Pillars gears up for the new season, the club’s leadership and fan base hope that this partnership will not only bring success on the pitch but also elevate the club’s media presence and community impact.
