As part of efforts in promoting girl-education and moral upbringing in the northern part of Nigeria, Pharm. Ahmed Ibrahim Yakasai, a past president of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN will be officially commissioning a Primary/Islamiyya School and a Mosque, in Kano on Sunday, 5 October, 2025.
The commissioning will take place at Gyanawa, Yakasai, by 4:30 pm, and will be graced by His Highness, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, CFR, CNOL, JP, Sarkin Kano, who will lead the ceremony.
In a telephone chat with Pharmanewsonline, Yakasai, who is also the Kachallam of Kano, said the construction of the school and mosque is in fulfilment of the promise he made during the public presentation of his book, “The Pharmaceutical Industry and Drug Production in Nigeria.”
“The institution is dedicated to promoting girl-child education, moral upbringing, and the overall educational development of future generation’, he stated.
Girl-child education in Kano faces challenges like cultural norms, financial barriers, and inadequate infrastructure. While the state government is making efforts to ameliorate the issues, individuals and organisational support will go al ong way in making education a reality for girls in Kano.
With this latest WAQF, Pharm. Yakasai has once again demonstrated his enduring commitment to community development, education, and faith-based values, leaving a generational impact in Yakasai and beyond.
