A wave of renewed hope and opportunity is sweeping through Kano State as more than 7,000 young men and women benefit from a mega empowerment programme championed by Engr. Abba Ganduje, Executive Director Engineering at the Rural Electrification Agency (REA).
Through the initiative, youths across Dawakin Tofa, Rimingado, Tofa and neighbouring areas received vital resources to kick-start or expand their livelihoods. Items distributed included motorcycles, grinding machines, irrigation water pumps, sewing machines, fertilizers, and hundreds of bags of rice designed not only to provide immediate relief but also to spark long-term self-reliance and entrepreneurship.
The high-profile event, hosted at the Amani Event Centre along Tamandu Road, Nasarawa, drew notable dignitaries, among them Alhassan Ado Doguwa, Engr. Rabi’u Suleman Bichi, Musa Iliyasu Kwankwaso, and Baffa Babba Dan Agundi. Their presence underscored the strategic importance of empowering Kano’s youth in the state’s broader vision for economic progress.
