Gov. Uba Sani of Kaduna State says President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is determined to wipe out poverty in Nigeria.

Sani made this known  at a town hall meeting and sensitization event for the N200 billion Presidential Intervention Fund and Loans Scheme for SSMEs, organised by the Federal Government in collaboration with the Bank of Industry in Kaduna on Tuesday.

He was represented by his Special Adviser on Economic Matters, Mr Ibrahim  Muhammad.

The governor praised the timing of the fund, calling it a valuable support for Kaduna State’s ongoing efforts to boost the local economy, create jobs, and encourage entrepreneurial growth.

 He urged all stakeholders to spread awareness of the initiative to maximize its impact.

He said, the fund, which includes the Presidential Conditional Grant Scheme and loan options for MSMEs, is designed to boost Nigeria’s economy by empowering local entrepreneurs.

“This massive presidential initiative is proof that President Tinubu is a listening leader.

 “Through these stimulus packages, small businesses and manufacturing enterprises will be revitalized, significantly benefiting both sub-national economies and Nigeria as a whole.”

He also emphasised the importance of MSMEs in driving job creation, innovation, and economic resilience, noting that Kaduna’s government is committed to fostering a supportive environment for businesses.
