In a bid to combat poverty and promote economic self-reliance, Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has launched the second phase of a women empowerment initiative under the Livestock Fattening Programme of the Kano Agro-Pastoral Development Project (KSADP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking during the flag-off ceremony, Governor Yusuf reaffirmed his administration\u2019s commitment to addressing poverty through innovative and inclusive approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He announced that under this phase, a total of 7,158 goats have been distributed to 2,386 women beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each beneficiary received three small ruminants (goats) to support their livestock entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the program will provide 1,342 cows and 1,822 rams to women and youth in subsequent phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The governor emphasized that the initiative is part of his administration\u2019s broader strategy to empower vulnerable groups and foster economic independence among women and youth in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Governor Yusuf issued a firm warning against diverting the livestock for purposes other than the intended goal, stressing the importance of accountability and responsibility among beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This groundbreaking initiative, worth N2.3 billion, underscores the administration\u2019s focus on sustainable development and empowering communities to drive economic growth from the grassroots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By integrating women and youth into the agricultural value chain, the program aims to enhance household income and reduce dependency on government aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The initiative has been widely applauded as a significant step toward improving livelihoods, strengthening food security, and creating wealth for Kano\u2019s rural communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program involves the distribution of livestock to women across the 44 Local Government Areas of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
