His Excellency Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje OFR today flagged off the disbursement of 2 Billion naira Microcredit revolving interest free loan to 1st batch of 20,000 (Twenty Thousand) beneficiaries from the 44 local governments of the state.

It is also expected that additional 50,000 (fifty thousand) people will benefit from the loan indirectly as well. This scheme is aimed at creating a middle class in Kano State and will drastically reduce poverty and unemployment.

The loan which is from the Central Bank of Nigeria, which 60% of the beneficiaries will be women as it is part of the conditions stipulated by the apex bank.

Governor Ganduje also inaugurated the newly established Loan defaulters court comprising of three chief magistrates that will ensure the beneficiaries repay the loan so as to enable many more people of Kano State benefit from it as it is a revolving loan.

what are The other governors up to? Dont blame fg all the time, hold your immediate leaders accountable

The only thing interesting about this is the loan defalter issue. I think other state should emulate this.

Just like his predecessor, Ganduje is really trying. Even students of the state enjoy scholarship regularly. Kano tubin giwa

God bless you sir. I like this
It is the only way forward
F.G and other state gov. Should start their own
The central bank is there even the world bank is there go and take your loan and empower your people
It is the best bail out you can get from this economy woes.

Ok oh, it seems non indigent are not included in this scheme all of them galabia and baban Riga , meanwhile nice development. Other governors follow suit

I pray that this goes round the country. Amen

Great, tone to aljazeera to watch chimamanda ngozi talk live

APC managed States have proven to be better than PDP managed States on the average.

And I have no doubt that the APC-led FG will outperform the PDP's mismanagement of Nigeria in sixteen years.

Make I run comot before wailing zombies pounce on me.

This is very commendable. I don't want to tow the tribal or religious line, but I actually had this wish a long time ago.

The FG should scrap NYSC and replace it with something like this, graduates shld go to camp and after camp every graduate shld be empowered with 500k. Half of it shld be loan while d oda half shld be their allowee for 12 months.

SME is the engine of the economy.... Quote me anywhere

You won't shut up now before thunder fires you. Must everything be about APC and PDP?

Well done Ganduje.If judiciously put to use,within 5years u would have succeeded in reducing d crime rate in kano state by 10%.I wish other states can learn.

That's average of N100,000 per loan. Aregbesola should go learn how to impact lives from his Kano counterpart.

TYPICAL YORUBBA...SMH

But if one million people get a million naira each no matter how bad some would invest, some would spend but all the same it's empowerment to one million let's privilege people.

Can't you guys see wats going on here... They have already started sharing the country's wealth in the north besides kano gave them all the votes they needed.. Thank u kano for supply of voters.. Free loan! Yoo wa!

It's a welcome note anyway , I believe mirco financial institutions and developmental banks should be the ones to handle these ?
State govt and law enforcing agency with appropriate data collector are meant to checkmate the process .
When politician hijack this it will surely be a mess up program which could fade out within 4 years .
Nigeria need a system of continuity but to be sincere it's far from our radar.

He said interestmony who know the meaning of interes. In his religion hhnnnn

This is what we are talking about....GOD bless nigeria
