APC Candidate ADVOCATES Youth, Women Empowerment

The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Chanchaga Federal Constituency of Niger State, Hon. Adamu Abubakar Salami, has insisted on the need to prioritise job creation and sustainable empowerment programmes for youths and women

Abdulsalami made the pledge while speaking with journalists in Minna after interacting with youths and women from the constituency, insisting that improving the socio-economic well-being of women and youths should be prioritised.

He therefore pledged that, “I shall not let you down on those agreed goals as we strive to enhance your socio-economic well-being.”

He said youth and women’s empowerment would form the core of his legislative agenda, stressing that the two groups remain critical drivers of economic growth and development in any society.

He said he would also promote legislation to create an enabling environment for youths and women to embrace Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies, thereby enhancing productivity and contributing to Niger State’s development.

According to him, “the world has embraced AI models as tools of growth and development. I shall strive to bring legislation that creates the enabling environment for our youths and women to embrace it too, enabling them to harness its immense potentials for developing our state.”

He added that his legislative agenda would focus on facilitating access to affordable financial opportunities for young people and women, enabling them to establish and expand businesses without the cumbersome processes associated with securing funds and marketing their products.

He stressed that youths and women would be central to the formulation of his legislative agenda, saying their ideas and contributions would be incorporated through a bottom-up approach to development.
