Her Excellency, Hajia Aisha Atiku Abubakar, Fmr 1st lady of Kebbi state, is a consummate humanist and philanthropist who has over the last fourteen years been a ‘hope giver’’ to thousands of otherwise hopeless citizens of the country.
She has since 2009 set up the Mass Literacy for Less Privileged and Almajiri Initiative (MALLPAI), an NGO that has quietly gone about its business of enhancing the quality of life of Nigerians by supporting and empowering initiatives that improve access to health, education and agricultural opportunities.
Mallpai has invested extensively in the return of out of school children to school and girl child education. It continues to empower indigent women and vulnerable groups in the country from its offices in six states (Kebbi, Kaduna, Kano, Edo, Delta and Lagos) and FCT where it is headquartered.
Hajia Atiku Bagudu remains at the forefront of the economic empowerment of women and children as a platform for sustainable socioeconomic development of the country.
