Furthermore, Engr. Saleeman presented a ram to the revered monarch. He subsequently met with the Principal Private Secretary to the Emir, Prince Modibbo Sulu-Gambari, and the Personal Assistant to the Emir, Alhaji Dr Murtala Abdulraheem. Their discussions focused on sustainable social interventions and community development.

Engr.

A major highlight of the visit was a courtesy call at the Pakata Primary Health Centre, Ilorin, where Engr. Saleeman announced that all medical treatments received by indigenes of the Ubandawaki community at the facility would be fully funded by the SAS Foundation, in line with its vision of improving access to quality healthcare and promoting social inclusion.

The announcement was welcomed by community leaders and youth representatives, including the President of the Pakata Youth Development Association, Muritala Nurudeen Alowonle, who described the initiative as a timely intervention that would ease the healthcare burden on residents.

Further engagements within the Ilorin Emirate included a condolence visit to the Seriki Salama of Ilorin, Alhaji Ayuba Gambari, over the passing of his daughter, Barrister Balikis Ayuba, and a courtesy visit to the Balogun Alanamu of Ilorin Emirate, Associate Professor Usman Atolagbe Abubakar Jos, where Engr.

On Tuesday, 23 December 2025, the SAS Foundation hosted a stakeholder and youth engagement tagged "An Evening with SAS", which brought together youth and student leaders, civil society actors, media practitioners and young professionals in technology, agriculture and business.

The gathering provided a platform for participants to engage with the vision of the SAS Foundation, interact with its Ilorin volunteers and celebrate outstanding beneficiaries of the Foundation's Project Tutored, an educational initiative that has trained over 150 pupils across Kwara State.

The event was attended by the Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kwara State Council, Abdullateef Lanre Ahmed, and the NUJ Secretary, Mr Olayinka Alaya.

In a related development, Engr. Saleeman also met in Lagos with former President of the Senate and former Governor of Kwara State, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, where discussions focused on potential collaboration between the SAS Foundation and the ABS Foundation in advancing technology training and improving livelihoods.

The series of engagements underscores Engr.
