Jigawa State government has distributed grants to 1,500 youths to operate small scale businesses or trades.
At the event, Governor Umar Namadi Sa’id said the grant given to the successful candidates was a demonstration of his administration’s commitment to empowering people through their own businesses.
“As I have said, during the launch of fuel subsidy removal palliatives, we have a plan for a different empowerment package/ programme that we will keep implementing until we reduce poverty to the barest minimal level in our state. And this is one of them. “As we distribute this package, I am also taking the opportunity to launch a website for registering our youth and the kind of jobs they want to do, this include business, trade, public service and any other legal means of livelihood.“The data to be generated will help us in design more realistic and community driven empowerment Program for achieving better results,” the governor declared.
According to him, 30 youths from 30 political constituencies in the state were trained to be advocates of the programme and to assist people in the registration process to ensure equal opportunity for everyone across the state irrespective of geographical location or education background.
