Performing the ceremony at Government House in Kano, Ganduje distributed 520 sewing machines, 520 sets of barbing equipment and generators, 520 sets of popcorn making machines, as well as N10, 000 startup capital to each of the beneficiaries.

He urged the beneficiaries to use the donation judiciously in order to enable them become self-reliant, especially considering the the present economic recession in the country. He said a monitoring team would be constituted to monitor the programme.

The governor further assured that more initiatives would be put up under the empowerment programme of his administration to ensure that people in the state engage in meaningful economic ventures.

“You can see that white collar jobs are no longer available so we want to stimulate the entrepreneurship spirit in our youth and women so as to lift them out of poverty and enable them propel small and medium scale endeavors that are crucial component of our economic transformation drive,” the governor said.
