The founder/director is Abubakar Usman Abdu. He is an impoverished orphan who initially approached HGC for assistance with his computer and mobile phone parts and accessories business. HGC provided funds for this.

Usman says: “my humanism is influenced by my curiosity, my reading introduced me to atheism books, of Richard Dawkins and the paleontologist Stephen Jay Goulds.  I became convinced there is no God and still yet we have to be good humans, atheism didn't give me this. Humanism did, and many YouTube videos cemented my faith in secular humanism. I live my life as a humanist, I try and be good to my neighbors, and contribute to the greater good of mankind.”
