The Kano state government has empowered no fewer than 60 women and youths with different entrepreneurial skills, following the ban on street begging in the state, the State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Dr Zahra’u Muhammad-Umar, has said.

Speaking during the presentation of the empowerment package to the beneficiaries, in Kano, on Thursday,  she said that there was need for women to be financially stable and help their families., explaining that “Some of the beneficiaries were picked from the street and under bridges.”

Muhammad-Umar  said this necessitated the decision to empower the women and other vulnerable people in the state, that were living with disability for them to fend for themselves and quit street begging.

The beneficiaries were given N10,000 each, in addition to sewing machines, soya beans, beans, millet, rice, freezers, small generating sets,, groundnut oil, pestle and mortar, frying pan, flour, grinding machines and second hand clothes, among other assorted items. to help themselves

The commissioner explained that each of the beneficiaries got an empowerment package based on the type of business they were interested in.

” There will be mentoring and follow up to ensure that they are doing what we have taught them and make sure they do not sell the goods.  As you have been given empowerment package anyone found on the street again will be taken to court,”s he told the beneficiaries.

She commended the state Gov. Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, for his support to the beneficiaries, while urging  wealthy individuals to support the less privileged to be self-reliant, saying that the ministry would soon start visiting wealthy individuals in the state for their contributions.

“The government cannot do it alone anyone found will be taken to his or her local government for the wealthy individuals there to empower them”, Muhammad-Umar said.
