The Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Murna foundation, an NGO in Katsina, Hajiya Aisha Ahmed, says they have never asked any beneficiaries of their programmes to pay money.
Ahmed disclosed this during a press briefing in Katsina on Friday, aimed at informing the public about their achievements since establishment about 22 years ago.
She also reacted to some people parading themselves as officials of the foundation, who are collecting money from the people.
According to her, the foundation has never directed any of its officials, or members of the public to collect money from people before benefiting from their programmes.
She explained that any individual or group of people asking for money from the public before benefiting from the foundation's support, should be reported to the nearest security office.
The CEO further appealed to the general public to be careful with such bad elements, and they should always visit the foundation’s office for any empowerment.
She added that the foundation aimed towards empowering the people, especially the less privileged, without collecting a single kobo from them.
“I'm appealing to the security agencies to take necessary action against any individual or group of people found guilty of collecting money in the name of this foundation,’ she appealed.
According to her, the foundation's mission is to see a world where human lives count, justice prevail and citizens are actively involved in decision making which will ensure
attainment of the sustainable development goals.
She added that their mission is to promote, engage and empower women, youth and vulnerable children through awareness creation, capacity building,
linkage and bridging the digital divide.
“Our goal is to empower women, youth, and children by addressing health disparities, promoting education, advocating for environmental sustainability,
bridging the digital divide, and fostering peace and security
within communities,” she said.
She further revealed that the foundation is into the National Identity Number (NIN) registration in Nigeria, revealing that they have registered over two million people.
