"With the help of local and international donor agencies and development partners within and outside of Nigeria, Hajia Buhari is already championing the Mother and Child vision because she simply believes that the health of women and children goes a long way at providing a measure of development for any country and the world at large," Araoye disclosed.

Araoye further said that Hajia Buhari’s new venture, development partners and other inter agency bodies are already indicating willingness to support this new milestone in the country's bid to eliminate malnutrition and maternal/new born deaths.
