In a bid to combat poverty and promote economic self-reliance, Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has launched the second phase of the Livestock Fattening Programme under the Kano Agro-Pastoral Development Project.

The initiative involves distributing 7,158 goats to 2,386 women across the state’s 44 local government areas, with each beneficiary receiving three goats.

Governor Yusuf emphasized that the program, worth N2.3 billion, aims to support livestock entrepreneurship among vulnerable groups, particularly women.

He reiterated his administration’s commitment to tackling poverty through innovative and inclusive initiatives, describing the program as a cornerstone of efforts to empower women and youths while boosting economic independence.

The governor also warned beneficiaries against misusing the livestock, stressing the importance of accountability and ensuring that the initiative achieves its intended goals.

He stated, “This initiative is not just about distributing livestock but about fostering a sustainable economic model that uplifts communities and reduces dependency on government aid.”

Future phases of the program will include the distribution of 1,342 cows and 1,822 rams to women and youths, further enhancing the economic prospects of Kano’s rural communities.
