The initiative forms part of efforts to empower young people with practical tools and resources to enable them to apply the skills acquired during their apprenticeship training and transition into self-employment.

The start-up kits are expected to help beneficiaries establish businesses, create sustainable livelihoods and contribute to economic development within the municipality.

The intervention also underscores the importance of technical and vocational skills training in addressing youth unemployment and promoting entrepreneurship.

Hon. Tamimu Halidu’s initiative reflects the Assembly’s commitment to youth empowerment, job creation and economic inclusion, providing young people with opportunities to become self-reliant and productive members of society.

The presentation marks another step towards equipping young people with the resources needed to turn their skills into viable businesses and build a more sustainable future.
