Kano Governor ‘Empowers’ 2,386 Women With 7,158 Goats, Claims Initiative Worth N2.3Billion

Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has empowered 2,386 women by distributing 7,158 goats as part of an economic empowerment initiative.

The distribution was carried out during the launch of the second phase of the Livestock Fattening Programme under the Kano Agro-Pastoral Development Project.

In a statement on Tuesday, the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa, explained that the initiative is designed to promote livestock entrepreneurship among vulnerable groups by providing livestock to women across the state’s 44 local government areas.

According to the state government, each beneficiary will receive three goats.

He said that future phases of the programme will also see the distribution of 1,342 cows and 1,822 rams to women and youths in the state. Yusuf also emphasized his administration’s dedication to reducing poverty through innovative and inclusive programs, highlighting the initiative as a key effort to empower women and youths while promoting economic self-reliance. He urged beneficiaries to use the livestock responsibly, stressing accountability to ensure the program achieves its goals.

“This initiative is not merely about distributing livestock but creating a sustainable economic model that uplifts communities and reduces reliance on government assistance,” the governor stated.

“This groundbreaking initiative, worth N2.3 billion, underscores the administration’s focus on sustainable development and empowering communities to drive economic growth from the grassroots.

“By integrating women and youth into the agricultural value chain, the program aims to enhance household income and reduce dependency on government aid.”

Who will feed the goats?

Kano that is parading more than 4million out of school children roaming the street daily begging for food

Above is just my personal opinion

Nigerians deserve everything thrown at them by their leaders.

As petty as the empowerment might look, it's a good one. Those condemning such will still come here to lament the high cost of meat in the market.

Shakes85:
Assuming each goat was bought at an outrageous price of 100,000 naira.

7158 × 100,000= 715,800,000 naira.

How come 2.3 billion naira was spent.
