Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin has announced a N200 million empowerment scheme to provide N20,000 each to 10,000 less privileged individuals across Kano State’s 44 local government areas (LGAs), aimed at alleviating poverty and fostering economic inclusion.
Ismail Mudashir, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, disclosed in a statement from Abuja that the selection process will commence on Thursday, October 9, 2025, with the distribution of application forms.
The initiative, channeled through the Barau I. Jibrin Foundation (BIJF), builds on the senator’s track record of philanthropy, including funding postgraduate scholarships for indigent Kano students abroad.
Under the scheme, 6,500 beneficiaries will be selected from the 13 LGAs in Kano North Senatorial District, with each LGA contributing 500 recipients.
In contrast, 112 individuals will be chosen from each LGA in Kano Central and South Senatorial Districts, ensuring broad coverage across the state.
“This cash disbursement reflects Senator Barau’s commitment to directly impacting the lives of the less privileged,” Mudashir said.
He highlighted the senator’s broader interventions in education, healthcare, agriculture, security, and transportation, with a particular focus on empowering women and youth to drive development in the North and Nigeria as a whole.
