The Madakin Gudi Foundation has settled about five months outstanding stipends of 167 volunteer teachers in 21 schools across five wards in Fika Local Government Area of Yobe State being part of its education support mission.

According to the report, a team from the Foundation, with the mandate to carry out the payment, set out in the early hours of Wednesday, 11th March 2026, visiting each of the 21 schools for the exercise.

The team first visited Chana community and later proceeded to Godowoli and other villages, ending the exercise in Gadaka.

Three volunteers in each of the schools were given the sum of N100,000 as their monthly stipends.

The leader of the team, Malam Muhammad Lamba, said the gesture was aimed at encouraging the volunteers to work harder for the development of education in the area.

Muhammad Lamba further revealed that the gesture is part of the Madakin Gudi Foundation’s initiative aimed at promoting education in rural communities.

An elder statesman based in Godowoli, Alhaji Haruna Godowoli, while commenting on the gesture, described it as an education revitalization drive that could compliment the efforts of the Government.

While advising the volunteers to see the gesture as a reward for their voluntary efforts, the elder statesman called on other philanthropic individuals to emulate Alhaji Muhammad Gadaka, the founder of the Madakin Gudi Foundation.

Some of the beneficiaries, including Muhammad Musa, a volunteer at Godowoli Primary School, Abdul-Salam Idriss of Zayyi Primary School, and Inusa Isiya of Gidim Primary School, among others, appreciated the gesture, commending the founder of the Madakin Gudi Foundation.

Apart from clearing the five months outstanding stipends of the volunteers, the Foundation also delivered a 50kg bag of sugar and a carton of spaghetti to each of the district heads of the benefiting communities for onward distribution to Principals and Imams of each community.
