Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has launched a monthly empowerment grant of N50,000 for 5,200 women across the state.

He unveiled the scheme on Monday at the Open Theatre, Government House, Kano.

The aim is to help women start or grow businesses, support their families and become financially independent.

Governor Yusuf urged the beneficiaries to spend the money wisely on businesses or other income earning ventures.

He said the government has set up a system to make sure the money reaches the women it is meant for, and that transparency and accountability will guide the programme.

The Emir of Gaya, Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir, praised the scheme as a useful intervention for women and their families.

The Commissioner for Women Affairs, Hajiya Amina Abdullahi, asked the beneficiaries to back the APC in the 2027 elections so the programme can continue and expand.
