We wish to specially appreciate Sir Kabir Kabir Kebram, for partnering with us to actualize this great initiative. His dedication and commitment played a major role in the success of the program. We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Director General, National Gallery of Art, Sir Ahmad Sodangi for empowering all the 50 participants with support to add value to their businesses, and to the DG of KATDICT for his unwavering support towards youth empowerment and digital inclusion in Katsina State.
A special appreciation also goes to the Speaker of the Nigerian Youth Parliament for his inspiring commitment to youth development and for promising to carry the beneficiaries along in the upcoming “Katsina Youth Dialogue”, as well as his generous pledge to provide 10GB of data to each participant to aid their digital learning.
To the facilitators and participants, we say a big thank you for your punctuality, discipline and maturity throughout the program. Your dedication truly reflects the spirit of the new generation of Katsina youths who are ready to embrace innovation and self-reliance.
Finally, we call on the government, development partners and well-meaning individuals to continue supporting youth-centered initiatives like this, in order to ensure sustainability and broader impact. In my State Chairman’s remarks, he encouraged the participants to share the knowledge they have acquired with others, so that the benefits of this program can reach many more young people.
