A non-profit organisation, Wunti Al-Khair Foundation has trained over 1,000 business owners on effective management, loan application and business registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in Bauchi State.
The entrepreneurs also received mentorship training on topics such as business mindset, financial management, market positioning, and access to finance.
According to Director of Programmes of Wunti Al-Khair Foundation, Mustapha Ango, on Friday, the Foundation sponsored free CAC registration of more than 100 businesses in Bauchi which he said could open doors for loans, grants, and formal opportunities.
As part of the organisation’s intervention, Ango said that no fewer than 30 youths have graduated from the Bala Wunti's Technology Fellowship under the Foundation, who he said are now advancing their skills in the tech industry while many of them have been fixed for employment.
He clarified that the organisation is apolitical in its operations and has been building stronger communities through interventions in education, agriculture, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and social welfare.
Ango said that the Foundation has sponsored 50 youths in 2024 and 2025 cohorts for technology and empowerment under the Bala Wunti's Technology Fellowship in a trip to Industry in Lagos.
“One of the major highlights of our work this year has been the progress of the Bala Wunti Technology Fellowship. This program is designed to prepare young people from Bauchi for the future of work, equipping them with the skills, exposure, and networks they need to thrive in the technology-driven economy.
“Recently, The Bala Wunti Tech Fellowship 2025 cohort embarked on a transformative industrial experience trip to Lagos, coinciding with GITEX Nigeria 2025, as part of the Wunti Al-Khair Foundation’s mission to build a technologically advanced Bauchi by equipping youth with globally relevant skills and exposure.
“At GITEX, fellows engaged with global and local technology leaders, explored emerging digital trends, and built valuable networks. A standout moment came when Muhammad, a 2024 fellow, showcased his startup at the exhibition, a milestone that highlighted how the fellowship is nurturing Bauchi-born innovators for national and international impact,” he said.
According to him, the Wunti Al-Khair Foundation is a non-political, charity organisation with a mandate focusing purely on humanitarian and development.
“We have observed with concern that some individuals attempt to impersonate the Foundation or use our name for political or personal gains. Let me state categorically: we dissociate ourselves completely from such actions.
“We strongly urge the public and our colleagues in the media to always verify any information about the Foundation directly from our office or our official channels before transmission. Together, we must protect the integrity of the work we are doing.”
