Tinubu Grants N150,000 to Jigawa Business Owners
President Bola Tinubu has recently authorized the distribution of N150,000 grants to business owners across Jigawa State.
This initiative was announced in a release from the State House in Abuja, and Vice President Kashim Shettima shared the news on his official X account.
In his announcement, Shettima highlighted that this grant is a part of Nigeria’s broader strategy to advance its digital transformation and establish a leadership position within Africa.
The Vice President made this declaration during the launch of the AI Expertise Blockchain and Technology Training and Outsourcing Initiative in Dutse.
He emphasized that Nigeria is not merely catching up with global advancements but is set to surpass them in economic and technological development.
Earlier, Shettima had unveiled the 4th edition of the Expanded National Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Clinic.
As part of this event, he revealed President Tinubu’s directive for a grant of N150,000 to be awarded to each business owner in Jigawa State.
This grant is intended as a form of federal support for MSMEs across Nigeria and is provided as a non-repayable assistance, meaning the recipients are not required to pay it back.
