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.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
