In a groundbreaking move to uplift the women of Kano State, Governor Abba Yusuf has announced the launch of another batch of his ambitious women empowerment initiative. Sharing the news on his official X handle, formerly known as Twitter, Governor Yusuf revealed the disbursement of N260 million to 5,200 beneficiaries across the state’s 44 local government areas.
Each beneficiary received N50,000 in this latest round of monthly empowerment, aimed at bolstering the micro and small-scale economy. This initiative is designed to transform the lives of financially disadvantaged women, enabling them to become self-reliant and independent through financial support for trade and skill acquisition.
Governor Yusuf articulated his vision, stating, “It is my firm conviction that empowering women with regenerative investment will not only enhance the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) but also invigorate the rural economy, stimulate business activities, and instill a sense of pride among the beneficiaries.”
He emphasized his administration’s commitment to recognizing and cherishing the sacrifices made by women in the state, pledging to continue transforming their lives. “My government will remain steadfast in its dedication to improving the lives of women in Kano State, honoring their pivotal role in our society,” Governor Yusuf affirmed.
This empowerment initiative is not just a financial support program; it is a transformative step towards fostering a resilient and thriving community, ensuring that the women of Kano State can contribute significantly to the state’s economic and social development.
