The Chairman of Chanchaga Local Government Council in Niger State, Hon. Aminu Yakubu Ladan, has reaffirmed the council's commitment to improving the livelihoods of its residents, particularly the less privileged.
Speaking at the closing ceremony of the cash support distribution program for women petty traders, held in Kpakungu community, Minna South, Hon. Ladan emphasised that the council is dedicated to implementing programs with direct benefits to the people. He highlighted the cash support initiative as a prime example and assured that more such programs are in the pipeline to enhance the lives of the local populace.
Hon. Ladan announced the council's ambitious plan to empower approximately 5000 women and youths, aligning with the state governor, Farmer Mohammed Umar Bago's efforts to improve the welfare and well-being of the state's residents. He explained that the council's approach of personally distributing the cash support across the 11 wards of the local government mirrors their campaign strategy, fostering direct interaction with the community.
The Chairman noted that this initiative provides an opportunity to give back to the people who entrusted them with their mandate. He also revealed that the second phase of the cash support program would commence soon, urging those who did not benefit from the first phase to remain patient. He advised the beneficiaries to utilise the support to expand their businesses.
Hon. Yahuza Sa'idu Etsu, the House Leader of Chanchaga Legislative Council, expressed gratitude on behalf of all the councillors, commending the Chairman for his efforts and pledging their continued support.
