The Executive Chairman of the Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board, Dr Kassim Muhammed-Kassim, has empowered 75 less-privileged men and women from the Nasarawa North Senatorial District with N18.7m in business grants to improve their livelihoods.
The state Governor, Abdullahi Sule, who flagged off the distribution of the funds to the beneficiaries on Saturday in Akwanga Local Government Area, said the gesture would strengthen small businesses, improve traders’ access to capital and stimulate grassroots economic growth across the district.
The governor, who commended the NSUBEB chairman for giving back to society, urged the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the funds by starting petty businesses.
He also prayed that the beneficiaries would grow the N250,000 each received into N250m.
