On December 14, 2024, the Hajiya Hadiza Foundation held its much-anticipated 2024 Annual Prayer for the Nation Event at the Unity Fountain, Shehu Shagari Way, Wuse, Abuja. The event, which began at 10 a.m., brought together distinguished dignitaries, community leaders, and beneficiaries to reflect, pray for the nation, and support those in need.

The event was graced by several notable personalities, including Senator Yusuf Abubakar Yusuf, Senator representing Taraba State and Chairman of the House Committee on Special Duties, Mr. Dahiru Saadu, a prominent businessman and philanthropist, and Chairman of Turakanci Motors, representatives from Zenith Bank, UN Volunteers Corp, and various government ministries, including the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs, Federal Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning, and the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian and Disaster Management, the Special Adviser to the President on People with Disabilities (PWD) and other key stakeholders.

As part of the foundation’s mission to support vulnerable populations, the event featured the distribution of essential items, including food, clothing, cash, and even two live cows. Over 290 beneficiaries—including widows, children, the aged, and persons with disabilities—received these items. Beneficiaries came from various organizations such as Bwari Widows Association, Widows from the Nigerian Police Force Headquarters, Abuja, Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD) and representatives of the Federal Ministries of Women Affairs, Budget and Economic Planning, Humanitarian and Disaster Management among others.

The program was enriched by prayers and goodwill messages, emphasizing unity, hope, and compassion for all.
