Alhaji Muhammad Maccido who is in his sixties is the district head of Gandi one of the prominent towns of Raba local government of Sokoto state. He was privileged to be part of the USAID/dRPC team who attended Egypt study tour between July and August 2009 for leadership and reproductive health in Islam

On their return from a 2-week Egypt study tour on family planning/reproductive health (FP/RH) in August 2009, Islamic scholars and traditional leaders (ISOLs) of the three programming states of Niger, Sokoto and Zamfara became well conversant with the position and provisions made by Islam on FP/RH. Their actions towards FP/RH take a new dimension with consistent vibrancy to achieve their goal for the better of their people.
