“The impact of these interventions goes beyond economic support. They are fostering inclusiveness, creating opportunities, and building a stronger foundation for national development,” the minister said.
Dr. Dan Agundi explained that the empowerment programme — now in its fourth phase — was part of promises made during the last electioneering campaign to establish small-scale industries and uplift the welfare of youths across the country.
He reaffirmed his commitment to sustaining monthly empowerment initiatives, adding that the scheme is particularly targeted at members of Tinubu Support Groups (TSG) in the North West region.
The event, which drew dignitaries and stakeholders from Kano, neighbouring states, and Abuja, featured the distribution of 350 motorcycles to dispatch riders and food packages to 10,000 beneficiaries.
Dan Agundi stressed that the gesture demonstrates the administration’s resolve to deliver tangible benefits to citizens and deepen grassroots support for the APC.
