The Founder and Chairman of the Saleeman Adedoyin Saleeman (SAS) Foundation, Engr. Saleeman Adedoyin Saleeman, has called on residents of Kwara State to use the holy month of Ramadan as a period of prayer for peace, security and prosperity in the state and across Nigeria.
In his Ramadan message, Engr. Saleeman urged Muslims to embrace compassion, generosity and unity, stressing the importance of supporting the underprivileged during the sacred month.
He described Ramadan as a time of spiritual renewal, self-reflection and divine guidance, encouraging Kwarans and Nigerians in the diaspora to uplift one another through acts of kindness and charity.
As part of its annual Ramadan initiative, the Foundation has launched a food distribution programme aimed at providing relief and support to 10,000 people in Ilorin, Kwara State. The initiative, he noted, is designed to cushion the effects of economic hardship and ensure that families observe the fasting period with dignity.
Reaffirming his commitment to humanitarian service, Engr. Saleeman stated that the Foundation remains actively engaged in community development efforts across Kwara State. He added that during the last Ramadan, the Foundation provided food support to over 1,000 families across various institutions in the state.
Engr Saleeman also extended his Ramadan greetings and prayers to Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, the Emir of Ilorin and Chairman of the Kwara State Council of Chiefs, praying for his continued good health and wisdom in providing leadership to the people of Kwara, as well as to the entire Emirate Council and Council of Ulamas.
Speaking further, the Foundation’s Director-General, Mallam Muslim Saleeman, reiterated its dedication to grassroots development and community-driven philanthropy.
“Our mission is to bring sustainable change to communities by empowering individuals and fostering a culture of giving,” he said.
Beyond his philanthropic engagements, Engr Saleeman is a respected global IT leader who has spearheaded digital transformation projects at major Fortune 500 companies in the United States, including Lowe’s, Target and Southwest Airlines.
He reiterated that Ramadan presents an opportunity for collective responsibility, urging citizens to intensify prayers for sustained peace, strengthened security and long-term development in Kwara State and Nigeria at large.
