KBSG  DISTRIBUTES  N200M LIVELIHOOD GRANTS TO 2,000 BENEFICIARIES
Kebbi State Government has distributed the sum of N200 Million Grant to 2,000 Beneficiaries across the state under the KB - Cares livelihood Grant Program.

The State Deputy Governor, Senator Umar Abubakar Tafidan Kabi, while flagging-off the disbursement in Birnin Kebbi said the gesture was part of the good intentions of Dr. Nasir Idris Kauran Gwandu's led administration to make people self-reliant.

The Deputy Governor said, considering the dangers of idleness among the youths in the present-day society which has subjected able-bodied persons to poverty, hunger and living in squalor due to lack of trade, the present administration will come-up with intervention programmes to make people gainfully employed.

He appealed to the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the grants to set-up meaningful trades that will support them and hopefully employ others in the near future. 

The Deputy Governor commended the KB-Cares Program for this remarkable effort worthy of emulation by other Organizations.

Earlier speaking, the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning, Hajiya Aishatu Usman said the livelihood grants was part of the second phase of the programme which 2,000 vulnerable and poor persons across the 21 local government areas are set to benefit.

Aishatu Usman commended the present administration of Dr. Nasir Idris Kauran Gwandu for the milestone, hoping that the programme would  continue to be supported for more people in the state to benefit.

In her remarks, the State Coordinator of  Kebbi Cares Programme, Rukayya Bawa said the CARES as a loan to the state government approved by the House of Assembly was designed to ensure maximum impact across the areas of intervention in the state.

Rukayya recalled that, in June 2022 Kebbi CARES distributed fertilizers of over N2.4 billion to farmers, cash transfer and livelihood grants of over N500 million to the poor and vulnerable in the state. 

She added that, water schemes were converted to solar power, feeder roads and more class rooms were also constructed in towns and villages across the state under the program which is supported by the World Bank.

Highlight of the occasion was presentation of ATM Cards containing N100,000 to some of beneficiaries.
