Damuli Investment, led by its Chairman, Alhaji Liman Muhammad Dabuwa, has spent over N90 million on various interventions in the education sector of Yobe State from 2024 to 2025, in a show of commitment to developing human capital in Northeast Nigeria.
The interventions were provided to basic, secondary, and tertiary institutions to boost learning outcomes and expand access to education for vulnerable students.
In one of such interventions at Mai Bukar Boarding Primary School, Damuli Investment allocated N9.1 million to provide mattresses and bedding, significantly improving student welfare. Additionally, the company has spent N10.5 million on a three months feeding support to allow for continuous learning and retention of students, especially those from vulnerable backgrounds.
In August 2025, Damuli Investment also made a substantial contribution of N38.5 million to Mai Bukar Boarding Primary School, which went into supplying modern teaching and learning materials, computers, food for staff, and gifts for graduating students in continuation of its efforts aimed at raising academic standards and bridging the digital divide.
To tackle educational inequality, the company fully sponsored 15 orphans to study at the Federal Government Girls’ College (FGGC) Potiskum, providing N3.1 million as their registration fees. The company also provided N2.025 million to pay for the second and third term fees for another 15 orphaned students from Machina Local Government Area.
The company has also spent N1.6 million to settle the entrance examination fees for prospective students of Mai Bukar Boarding School from all the ten political wards of Machina LGA.
Damuli Investment has further stepped up interventions to support tertiary institutions across the country, contributing N13.75 million to help over 150 tertiary schools students with their registration fees. This generous assistance is easing the financial burden on families and allowing students to pursue their studies without hitch.
Their commitment didn’t stop at formal education alone. The company also showed its dedication to cultural and religious education by donating N11 million to support the 2025 Yobe State Annual Qur’anic Recitation Competition, held in Machina. This funding helped cover meals and gifts for both participants and their guardians.
When a fire broke out at Yobe State University, Damuli Investment quickly responded by providing essential building materials to aid in the rapid restoration of the damaged facilities, ensuring that academic activities resume with minimal disruption.
Looking to the future, the company has promised to upscale its interventions in the education sector. This includes support for the development of the Medical College in Damaturu and a commitment of N500,000 for teaching aids at Government Secondary School, Machina.
Some education stakeholders have hailed Damuli Investment for prioritising education and the impact of the intervention efforts, which have gone beyond numbers. They agreed that the interventions have gone a long way in restoring dignity to orphaned students, boosting staff morale, and reinforcing community trust in public education.
Through its ongoing and strategic investments, Damuli Investment is setting a strong example of responsible corporate citizenship, showcasing how private enterprises can significantly contribute to building a more educated, resilient, and prosperous Yobe State.
