Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf announced a new empowerment programme on Monday, offering a monthly grant of ₦50,000 to 5,200 women across the state. The initiative, unveiled at the Open Theatre in Government House, Kano, is part of the administration’s broader effort to promote women’s economic empowerment, self‑reliance and improved household livelihoods. In a statement released by the governor’s chief press secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, the scheme is described as a means of providing financial resources that will enable women to establish sustainable livelihoods, expand existing businesses and achieve economic independence. “The administration has put in place a robust mechanism to ensure that the empowerment programme reaches the women for whom it was specifically designed,” Yusuf said. He added that transparency, fairness and accountability would remain central to its implementation and urged beneficiaries to use the grants judiciously, investing in viable businesses and other income‑generating ventures. The Emir of Gaya, Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir, praised the initiative as a “laudable intervention capable of improving the economic well‑being of women and their families in the state.” He also commended the state government for its ongoing development projects and noted that the programmes were making meaningful impacts at the grassroots level. Commissioner for Women Affairs, Children and People with Special Needs, Hajiya Amina Abdullahi, encouraged the beneficiaries to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections. She argued that returning the APC to power would allow the continuation and expansion of programmes aimed at improving women’s welfare and enhancing the living conditions of families across Kano.
