Alh. Idris Shuaibu, the Danruwantan Gwandu of Kebbi State, has kicked off his annual empowerment programme in Bagudo Local Government Area of Kebbi State, with hundreds of residents already benefiting from the initiative.
The event attracted notable figures from across Kebbi State’s political and economic landscape and was organised to ensure that residents of Bagudo Local Government Area enjoy what organisers described as the undiluted dividends of democracy and the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as reflected through the goodwill of Alh. Idris Shuaibu.
According to details from the office of the Danruwantan Gwandu of Kebbi State, the proposed number of beneficiaries for this year’s empowerment programme is projected at 1,000 by the end of January 2026. However, as at the time of this report, the number of beneficiaries had already risen to over 300 persons, indicating a faster rollout of support than initially anticipated.
Some beneficiaries of the empowerment programme expressed happiness over what they described as Alh. Idris Shuaibu’s consistent benevolent foresight, noting that the initiative has remained a steady source of support for many families in the area. They offered prayers for Allah’s blessings upon him and pledged to utilise the free grants for meaningful and sustainable ventures that would improve their livelihoods.

Bello Kaoje, member representing Bagudo/Suru constituency in the 10th National Assembly; Muhammed Samaila, Deputy Speaker of the Kebbi State House of Assembly, representing Bagudo East constituency; Hon. Sani Abubakar Lolo, member of the Kebbi State House of Assembly representing Bagudo West; as well as chairmen and chairpersons of various socio-political groups.
In his words, “my gratitude is beyond words, it knows no bounds…for everyone who came to show their support for my empowerment program, both from within Kebbi State, and outside, I am grateful for your presence, and I promise to do more for my people”.
He further assured residents that no one in Bagudo Local Government Area would be left out of his various empowerment programmes. He urged the people to keep faith with God and with the government, adding that better days lie ahead.
