Chigari Foundation ā Royal Advocacy Visits to Yobe Emirs (4ā8 August 2025)
From Monday, 4 August to Friday, 8 August 2025,
@chigari_ngo, together with the Yobe State Primary Health Care Board (YSPHCB),
@SultanPeace,
@UNICEF_Nigeria, and
@SCIDaR_, paid courtesy advocacy visits to the 14 emirs of Yobe State. The delegation commenced at the palace of His Royal Highness Alh. Abubakar Umar Suleiman, Emir of Bade, warmly received the team in Gashua before the visits continued across the remaining emirates.
The visits formed part of our intensified community engagement ahead of the upcoming In-Between Rounds Activities (IBRA) for immunization. The advocacy team briefed Their Royal Highnesses on the objectives and strategies of IBRA and sought their esteemed leadership in mobilizing traditional structures to identify and reach every missed child in their domains.
Their Royal Highnesses welcomed the delegation, affirmed their support for immunization, and pledged to work closely with district and village heads to ensure no child is left behind during the IBRA campaign. We are encouraged by this collective commitment and the readiness of traditional institutions to partner with health authorities and communities.
Chigari Foundation remains dedicated to reaching all identified missed settlements and populations. We thank our partners and the royal institutions of Yobe State for their solidarity and call on caregivers, community leaders and stakeholders to join hands with us to protect every child through timely immunization.
