He also emphasized his administration's commitment to humanitarian causes, noting that social care and poverty reduction remain core pillars of his development agenda.

Prof. Babangida Matazu, Chairman of the Institute's Governing Council, stated the organization's 16-year track record in capacity-building and social development, including partnerships with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research and the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
