Similarly, the governor launched start-up kits worth millions of Naira to 550 youths who were trained to acquire several skills by the state government, in conjunction with the Industrial Training Fund, under the National Industrial Skills Development Programme.

Speaking during the occasion, which was attended by participants of the National Defense College Geo-Strategic Study Course 26, at the Kano Government House, Governor Ganduje said the loan “would be a continuous exercise, as the funds would be circulating as a sort of revolving scheme, so that all interested workers would benefit in short period of time”.

On the skills acquisition programme, he stated that his government has implemented various youth development and empowerment programmes stressing that “it would continue to do more in that direction so that opportunities would be create for our teeming youths and women to be productive and self-reliant”.

Also speaking, the Director-General the Industrial Training Fund, ITF, Sir Joseph N. Ari praised Governor Ganduje or his foresight, appealing to his government to sponsor additional trainees for the on-going skills development programme of his organization, and to provide them with starter packs at the end of their training.
