KEBBI FOR WOMEN LAUNCHED IN BAGUDO, BUNZA, JEGA AND KALGO LGAS OF KEBBI.
I have spent the last 3 days with the team of Kebbi for Women Project under the State Ministry of Budget and Planning. I joined them to distribute start up funds of N10,000.00 each to women as follows:
Bagudo 1375 Beneficiaries
Bunza 1250 Beneficiaries
Jega 1375 Beneficiaries
Kalgo 1250 Beneficiaries
We received very warm welcomes in all the areas for which I thank Hon Bello Kaoje and his wife Aisha, Hon Bello Rilisco, Hon Hayyatu Bawa Ahmed, Hon Abba Kalgo, Hon Murtala H Jega and so many others.
I pray that the funds will form a seed to liberate these women from poverty.
Kebbi for Women is a program that is capable of providing better health, education, marital stability and nutrition in our communities. I urge that all interested women should contact their local government to form or join the women affinity groups WAG through which clusters are managed. An APC led government is the only way to ensure it’s sustained, so as we head out to elect a new governor on Saturday 18th March, I urge that we vote for Dr Nasir Mainasara Idris.
As always, on a personal note, I was pleased to engage our Royal fathers in all the local governments. Our conversations are always rich and I always come away with increased knowledge. In 8years, I have received immense support from them and will forever appreciate the impact this has had on our success. I am grateful to HRH Mohammed Arzika Bawa, the Emir of Jega.
I am excited by the trend set by H.E. Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu in Kebbi of providing the opportunity to younger people to participate and lead traditional institutions. The more responsibility we give the youth, the more they will take ownership of the fate of our country, Nigeria. I remind them of the old adage- to whom much is given, much is expected.
On this note, I joyously congratulate two stellar young emirs in Kaoje- Sarkin Bargu, Mustapha Usman Adamu and Sarkin Yamman Yamusa, Yakubu Abubakar.
