The Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba K Yusuf, has distributed vocational tools and equipment to over 2,000 youths who successfully completed various vocational training programmes across the state.
The distribution took place on Sunday as the Governor presided over the Graduation Ceremony and Distribution of Start-up Capital and Work Tools to beneficiaries trained at different Skill Acquisition Institutes across Kano State.
The event marked a step in the administration’s drive for youth and women empowerment, with more than 2,000 male and female beneficiaries receiving practical skills, start-up equipment, and financial support aimed at helping them become self-reliant.
Beneficiaries were trained in diverse vocational trades and supported with essential working tools and start-up capital, reflecting a move from policy promises to practical empowerment designed to reduce unemployment, curb poverty, and promote economic independence.
Officials described the initiative as part of ongoing investments in human capital development and sustainable livelihoods for residents of the state.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Governor said the programme was designed to give beneficiaries the means to create value and support their families through productive work.
“This is not just a graduation ceremony, but a new beginning for thousands of families, powered by a government that believes in empowering its people to stand on their own.”
