National Gallery of Art's Sodangi Aids 286 JAMB Candidates

Ahmed Bashir Sodangi, the Director-General of the National Gallery of Art, has launched community development initiatives in Katsina State, focusing on 286 prospective Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) candidates. These initiatives aim to alleviate financial burdens on families and enhance access to tertiary education.

Sodangi provided 286 JAMB registration forms to students across Katsina Local Government Area. Additionally, he facilitated a cash empowerment program for 600 women to improve their economic wellbeing and distributed 50,000 bags of food items during Ramadan last year.

In healthcare, he donated 100 birthing kits to two primary healthcare facilities in Wakilin Kudu 1 Ward to support safer childbirth for expectant mothers. The initiatives also included the provision of essential supplies to schools and improvements to community infrastructure, such as an overhead water tank and renovated public toilets.

Sodangi emphasized that true leadership is measured by the impact on people's lives rather than positions held or promises made.
