Empowering 2,500 people isn’t just a number—it’s a movement. It’s a seed being planted into the future of an entire community. This week in Katsina State, the energy was electric as participants arrived at the Multipurpose Hall, Filin Gamji, the official venue for Week 4 of the ongoing empowerment program.
The training focus for this batch? Poultry and Fishery Farming—an essential skill set with the power to feed families and fuel micro-enterprises. This week marked the beginning of Batch A, a group of eager and determined youths who showed up with one goal: to build something meaningful with their own hands.
As they journey through the practical modules, one truth remains clear: investing in human development is far more impactful than just building roads and bridges. After all, a hungry man is an angry man—and an idle youth becomes vulnerable to societal vices. But when empowered with skills and knowledge, that same youth becomes a builder of peace, innovation, and prosperity.
This is not just a training. It’s a quiet revolution.
When we equip young people with skills, we’re not only helping them earn an income—we’re also reducing crime, boosting economic activity, and changing the narrative. Look at China. Their rise didn’t just come from skyscrapers and factories, but from massive investments in their people, especially the youth.
Right now in Katsina, 2,500 people are being trained across various skills. Let’s imagine that just 1,000 of them succeed in launching their own ventures, and each one hires 3–4 others. That’s at least 4,000 people off the streets, no longer jobless, no longer hopeless.
