Ibadan – GAB Foundation is a non governmental organization whose mission is to be simple but powerful enough to bring hope, support, and lasting change to the less privileged.
Since our launch in 2017, we have continued to champion initiatives that uplift the downtrodden and create opportunities where there were none.
Founded by Mr. Ganiu Adeniyi Buhari, a dedicated farmer and proud graduate of the prestigious Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ogun State; GAB Foundation was established to put smiles on faces and touch lives meaningfully.
In an exclusive conversation, Mr. Buhari shared the heart behind the foundation:
“Giving is my calling. Bringing hope to the hopeless and reducing the struggles of the less privileged brings me inner joy.”
Over the years, the foundation has executed several impactful programs tailored to empower individuals and strengthen communities:
Education Support:
In 2025, GAB Foundation purchased SSCE forms for students who would otherwise be unable to afford them. This act not only supports their academic dreams but also redirects young minds from crime toward a purposeful future.
Youth & Sports Development:
The foundation donated football kits—including jerseys, boots, and balls to Ago-Iwoye youths preparing for the annual Ago-Iwoye Football Competition. This initiative helps engage young people positively while nurturing local talent.
Community Engagement:
GAB Foundation proudly sponsored the 2024 and 2025 all indoor games during Awa Ijebu Day, a cultural event that brings together families, leaders, and youth in celebration and unity.
Festive Outreach & Food Support:
During festive seasons the foundation distributed essential food items to households in need, giving many families renewed hope during celebrations.
The impact of these initiatives has not gone unnoticed. GAB Foundation was honored as the Best Foundation in Ijebu North by the Ijebu North Youth Council, a recognition of our consistent dedication to life-changing community projects.
As we continue to expand our reach, Mr. Buhari encourages well-meaning individuals to also lend their support:
“No act of kindness is too small. Together, we can lift more people out of poverty and build a society where everyone has a chance to thrive.”
