Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin has urged young Africans to lead in preserving and promoting their cultural heritage, particularly the Hausa language. The call was made during the 2026 World Hausa Day celebration in Accra, Ghana. Accompanied by several high-ranking Senate members, Jibrin praised the organizers for their efforts to preserve and promote the Hausa cultural heritage.

He emphasized the importance of transmitting indigenous languages from one generation to another for their survival. Jibrin also challenged Hausa youths in Ghana and other African nations to combine cultural preservation with education, innovation, and economic empowerment. As part of the support for education, Jibrin awarded scholarships to two Hausa community members in Ghana to study the Hausa language at Nigerian universities.
