About Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation

The Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation (SABMF) was founded by the Governors of the 19 northern states of Nigeria in cooperation with the associates, friends, admirers and well-wishers of the late Sir Ahmadu Bello, KBE, the Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of the defunct northern region to pursue the legacy of leadership and good governance bequeathed by late Sir Ahmadu Bello to bring Northern Nigeria back to reckoning in terms of human and economic development.

It was launched in 2009 as a non-governmental organization, and was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission on 19th January, 2009.

SABMF is conceived as an intervention agency that conceptualizes, designs, develops and executes programmes directly, partnering with other global and local NGOs or by collaborating with special interests that share the same or similar objectives with us in realizing their set goals and objectives which should be within the general framework for socio-economic development.
