Speaking on the Foundation's recent work, Dr Indimi said; "The Mohammed Indimi Foundation has a steadfast commitment to investing positively and purposefully across Nigeria. We are particularly committed to fostering and supporting the development of education and indigenous technical skills, as a fundamental pillar for long term sustainable development.

We believe that by addressing and acting on the causes of education exclusion in Nigeria, we can increase the opportunities for the youth in the region to further their education and increase their opportunities for a better life."
