Governor Namadi Launches Microfinance Bank, Plaza In Birnin Kudu

Jigawa State governor, Malam Umar Namadi, has inaugurated a Microfinance Bank and a multi-purpose shopping plaza in Birnin Kudu local government area.

The two commercial structures were built by former minority leader of the National Assembly, Hon. Faruk Adamu Aliyu.

At the event, Governor Namadi commended Hon. Adamu for the massive investment, which will generate jobs, create wealth, and enhance the social and economic life of the people of Birnin Kudu and Jigawa State at large.

“Hon. Faruk is a patriotic son and leader who always gives back to his society in a positive manner. In 2020, former President Muhammadu Buhari commissioned the Malam Ali Integrated Farm established by Hon. Faruk. Today, that farm stands as a classic example and pacesetter in terms of modern, mechanized farming in Nigeria,” the governor stated.

Governor Namadi added that the private investment aligns with his administration’s 12-Point Agenda, which prioritizes empowerment, investment for job creation, employment, poverty alleviation, and economic growth.

“Through various initiatives under our government’s policy, we have empowered over 400,000 people with different packages, skills training, and direct employment in the last two years,” he said.

Governor Namadi promised to provide all the necessary government support to ensure the business thrives. He also charged the managers and staff to fear Allah and to uphold their duties with honesty, sincerity, and accountability.

In his speech, the Special Guest of Honour, Gombe State governor, Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, described the investment as a symbol of community and national patriotism.

According to him, providing such commercial investments in society is not only about profit-making but also about giving the community access to basic amenities and financial services.

In his remarks, the chief executive officer of the investment, Hon. Faruk Adamu Aliyu, thanked Governor Namadi and all the dignitaries who graced the occasion. He promised to continue making such investments for the general good.
