Fulani Future Forum, KEFYA, MACBAN, and Kebbi State Collaborate for Youth Development

In a significant meeting, the Fulani Future Forum from Kebbi State engaged in crucial discussions with senior representatives from the Kebbi Fulani Youth Association (KEFYA) and the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) aimed at youth development in Birnin Kebbi.

The gathering, held on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at the MACBAN headquarters in Kebbi State, focused on establishing sustainable partnerships, mobilizing youth, and fostering community development throughout the state.

During the discussions, the KEFYA-MACBAN representatives proposed two options: to either merge the Fulani Future Forum with their organization or to allow it to continue operating independently while pursuing its objectives.

After thorough dialogue and internal deliberations, the leadership of the Fulani Future Forum decided to remain an independent entity. This choice reflects their commitment to maintaining the forum’s distinct identity and strategic vision and was respectfully accepted by representatives from Miyetti Allah and KEFYA.

Both parties pledged to collaborate and provide strategic insights to enhance the community outreach and visibility of the Fulani Future Forum, which includes boosting grassroots youth engagement, launching focused advocacy initiatives, and improving public relations.

In a statement, the President of the Fulani Future Forum expressed gratitude for the opportunity to operate independently. “Alhamdulillah, we have been granted the chance to pursue our initiatives autonomously. KEFYA-MACBAN has assured us of their full support,” he noted, urging members to contribute their utmost to the movement’s success now that they have the autonomy to act.

He also urged all members to prepare for an upcoming outreach event. “Every member of the Fulani Future Forum should get ready to fulfill their role as change-makers. Our first outreach is on the horizon, and we encourage everyone to be fully prepared to have a meaningful impact on our society.”
