SAS Foundation Launches Ramadan Food Distribution for 10,000 in Ilorin, Urges Prayers for Peace in Kwara

As part of its annual Ramadan initiative, the Saleeman Adedoyin Saleeman (SAS) Foundation has launched a food distribution programme aimed at providing relief and support to 10,000 people in Ilorin, Kwara State.

The Founder and Chairman of the SAS Foundation, Engr. Saleeman Adedoyin Saleeman, in a statement, said the initiative, which will run during the last ten days of Ramadan through mosque-based and community iftar distributions, is designed to cushion the effects of economic hardship and ensure that beneficiaries observe the fasting period with dignity.

He also called on residents of Kwara State to use the holy month of Ramadan as a period of prayer for peace, security, and prosperity across the state and Nigeria.

Engr. Saleeman urged Muslims to embrace compassion, generosity, and unity, stressing the importance of supporting people in need 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.

Reaffirming his commitment to humanitarian service, Engr. Saleeman stated that the Foundation remains actively engaged in community development efforts across Kwara State. He noted that during the previous Ramadan, the Foundation provided food support to over 1,000 families across various institutions in the state.

He also extended his Ramadan greetings and prayers to Mai Martaba 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 the Council of Ulamas.

Speaking further, the Foundation’s Director General, Mallam Muslim Saleeman, reiterated the organisation’s dedication to grassroots development and community-driven philanthropy.

“Our mission is to empower lives and build brighter futures by bringing sustainable change to communities, 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 added that Ramadan presents an opportunity for collective responsibility and urged citizens to intensify prayers for sustained peace, strengthened security, and long-term development in Kwara State and Nigeria.
