The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has commended Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, for his bold investment in women's economic empowerment through the state's Monthly Women Empowerment and Poverty Relief Programme.

The commendation was delivered by the APC National Ex-Officio, Hon. Muhammad Jamo Yusuf, who represented the National Chairman at the official disbursement of the monthly support to beneficiaries held at the Government House, Kano.
Speaking at the event, Hon. Muhammad Jamo Yusuf described the initiative as a remarkable intervention that shows the administration's genuine commitment to improving the welfare of women and tackling poverty at the grassroots.
He said the programme reflects visionary leadership and will go a long way in strengthening household incomes, promoting entrepreneurship, and improving the socio-economic well-being of thousands of families across Kano State.
How The Programme Works
The Monthly Women Empowerment and Poverty Relief Programme provides financial support to 5,200 women every month, drawn from all 44 local government areas of the state.
Under The Initiative:
-200 women each from the 8 metropolitan local government areas
100 women each from the 36 rural local government areas
The beneficiaries receive cash support to start or expand small-scale businesses, aimed at boosting their economic independence and supporting their families.
The programme is one of the Kano State Government’s flagship social investment initiatives designed to reduce poverty, stimulate grassroots economic activities, and improve the living standards of citizens across the state.
