By: Femi Mustapha
Youths in Kaduna State, particularly those from Kaduna South Local Government Area, have been encouraged to be intentional in their pursuit of success in both the formal and informal sectors of the economy.
This call to action was made by Hon. Kabiru Yakubu Jarimi, the Special Adviser to Governor Uba Sani on Local Government Affairs, during a special Sallah dinner he hosted for over 100 vibrant young men and women from the Team Jarimi group.
These individuals have played a significant role in promoting the achievements of Governor Uba Sani across Kaduna State.
Among the attendees were 21 dedicated youths selected from the 13 wards of Kaduna South, who are part of a larger group of 120,000 youths set to benefit from this empowerment initiative.
These youths have consistently highlighted the developmental efforts of Governor Uba Sani and deserve recognition for their contributions.
As part of Governor Uba Sani’s commitment to youth empowerment and self-reliance, each beneficiary received ₦N500,000 to either start a small business or expand an existing one.
This gesture is seen as a life-changing opportunity aimed at cultivating a generation of self-sufficient and productive citizens.
In his remarks, Hon. Jarimi expressed deep gratitude to Governor Uba Sani for believing in him, mentoring him, and providing him opportunities to grow in politics despite his initial inexperience and missteps.
He also appreciated the members of Team Jarimi for their unwavering support and emphasized the Governor’s commitment to youth inclusion, economic empowerment, and sustainable peace in Kaduna State.
He urged the team to remain steadfast, consistent, and resolute in promoting the significant achievements of His Excellency.
Additionally, he encouraged the beneficiaries to use the funds wisely, grow their businesses, and continue to be ambassadors of progress and unity.
The beneficiaries, overwhelmed with joy, expressed profound appreciation for Governor Uba Sani’s generosity through his Special Adviser, describing him as a rare breed among politicians, especially compared to others with similar privileges as the past governors.
They also committed to using the grants judiciously, noting that this support comes at a crucial time for their businesses. Furthermore, the youths vowed to continue supporting Governor Uba Sani and to help maintain the peaceful atmosphere currently prevailing in the state.
The event reached an emotional high when the adviser was presented with an Appreciation Award by his 2018 Ward Coordinators, who had stood by him during his first political campaign when he contested for the position of Kaduna South LG Chairman.
