JIGAWA: GOVERNOR NAMADI HIGHLIGHTS YOUTH EMPOWERMENT AS PILLAR OF 12-POINT AGENDA

Governor Mallam Umar Namadi has reiterated his commitment to empowering the youth with skills and employment, stating that it is central to the administration’s 12-point agenda blueprint aimed at elevating Jigawa State to greater heights.

The governor made this statement during the opening ceremony of the F&M Supermarket, a newly inaugurated superstore located on Malam-Madori Road in Hadejia and owned by businessman Alhaji Sulaiman Umar Uba.

Governor Namadi mentioned that one of the core tenets of his administration’s agenda is the provision of opportunities that equip young people with the necessary skills to thrive in today’s competitive job market.

“Empowering the youth with skills and employment is a key component of our 12-point agenda blueprint for the development of Jigawa State,” he stated.

As part of this commitment, Governor Namadi said, the Jigawa State government has initiated the establishment of palliative shops across the state for the benefit of its citizens.

“These shops aim to subsidize essential commodities while simultaneously creating job opportunities for residents. We are making concerted efforts to provide employment for our people in various fields of endeavour.”

The governor commended the establishment of the shopping mall as a commendable contribution to the community, describing it as a vital resource that will generate employment, especially for the youth.

“This initiative not only helps the local economy but also plays an important role in assisting the government in meeting the employment needs of our community.”

He reaffirmed the state government’s dedication to supporting individuals and businesses that prioritize community upliftment.

“We will continue to encourage those who demonstrate a strong commitment to the welfare of our people and the development of our communities.”
