Kaduna Government Supports Agricultural Empowerment for Youths to Drive Sustainable Growth

By Usman Ahmed, Kaduna

The Kaduna State Government has intensified efforts to promote agricultural development and empower young people across the state for sustainable economic growth.

In collaboration with the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), the government has equipped hundreds of youths with agricultural inputs and tools, including improved fertilizers, water tanks, and other essential farming resources. The initiative follows a comprehensive training program aimed at enhancing productivity and self-reliance among participants.

During the flag-off ceremony, Alhaji Abdul Hamid Ishaq Ringim urged the beneficiaries to put the knowledge and resources gained to good use and to share their skills with others within their communities. He emphasized that the project would be closely monitored and evaluated to ensure its sustainability and to inform future interventions and support.
