The Katsina State Enterprise Development Agency (KASEDA) has released the list of 70 beneficiaries for the disbursement of the ₦50,000 support grant to each outstanding student vendor, making a total of ₦3.5 million.

KASEDA said the update is part of its commitment to fulfill the support pledged to outstanding student entrepreneurs who took part in the event.
The Trade Fair was organized under the Office of the Special Assistant to the Governor on Student Matters, Muhammad Nuhu Nagaske, in collaboration with other stakeholders. The event brought together vibrant student-led businesses from across Katsina State. KASEDA played an active role in the programme as part of its efforts to promote entrepreneurship, innovation, and youth-led enterprises.
As earlier announced during the event, KASEDA pledged a support grant of ₦50,000 to each of the 70 outstanding student vendors, totaling ₦3.5 million. According to the agency, “This support is aimed at strengthening student-owned businesses, encouraging innovation, and helping young entrepreneurs scale their ideas into sustainable ventures.”
KASEDA further stated, “We are pleased to inform the public that the list of the 70 beneficiaries has been finalized and released, and all selected vendors are advised to check their bank accounts accordingly.”
The agency added, “This intervention reflects the Katsina State Government’s continued commitment to empowering students and young entrepreneurs through practical support, not just encouragement.”
“KASEDA appreciates the collaboration with the Office of the SA on Student Matters and all partners who made the 2nd Students’ CEOs Trade Fair a success. We remain committed to supporting initiatives that create opportunities, build capacity, and drive inclusive economic growth across Katsina State.”
