Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has unveiled an ambitious plan to create 63,360 jobs in the garment industry across the state’s 44 local government areas.
This initiative is expected to provide youth with employment opportunities and contribute to the state’s economic development.
While reopening the garment industry cluster in Kura Local Government Area, Governor Yusuf emphasized that this project marks a significant step towards fulfilling his campaign promises.
He noted that beneficiaries of the program will earn an average monthly income of ₦70,000.
The governor also warned individuals involved in the theft of machines deployed to the clusters, stating that such actions will not be tolerated.
