The Katsina State Government has disbursed a total of ₦27.85 million in February 2026 as Nano Grants to support 557 small-scale entrepreneurs across 361 wards in the state under the NG-CARES Programme.
The disbursement was carried out through the Katsina State Enterprise Development Agency (KASEDA) under Result Area 3 of the NG-CARES Programme, with each beneficiary receiving ₦50,000 to support and stabilize their small businesses.
According to the state government, the initiative is designed to strengthen grassroots economic activity by providing direct financial support to nano and small-scale entrepreneurs who form the backbone of local economies.
Governor Dikko Umaru Radda emphasized that the programme is part of his administration’s broader strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses and stimulate economic growth across communities.
“Our goal is to ensure that entrepreneurs at the grassroots level receive the support they need to grow their businesses and improve their livelihoods,” the governor stated.
KASEDA officials also noted that women and youths formed the majority of beneficiaries, accounting for about 60 percent of those who received the nano grants under the programme.
