The Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation was founded by the Governors of the 19 northern states of Nigeria in cooperation with the associates, friends, admirers and well-wishers of the late Sir Ahmadu Bello, KBE, the Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of the former northern region.
The Foundation which is a hybrid grant making, grant receiving, not-for-profit and non-governmental organisation, was established to foster the legacy of leadership and good governance bequeathed by Sir Ahmadu Bello for the human and economic development of northern Nigeria.
Its office is located in Kaduna, the former capital of the northern region and currently capital of Kaduna State.
