“This AGSMEIS/NIRSAL loan and entrepreneurship will definitely help many people in Bauchi State to create and improve businesses and occupations.

 

” I hope that the participants will make use of what they learnt here so as to enhance their businesses, mentor and train others so as to help in reviving the economy of the State.

“I so much cherish entrepreneurship and I have been assisting and providing support to engage in it even before I join politics because this is the most effective way to help the well being of people,” The Speaker said.

 

The Speaker who distributed certificates of participation to the participants urged them not to misuse the loan when accessed by making spendings on non-profitable ventures because the loan is meant for entrepreneurship and is not free as erroneously perceived in some quarters.

 

Rt. Hon. Abubakar Suleiman stressed the need for economic diversification by all and sundry in the State due to the fact that the Government cannot provide everything.

 

He commended Governor Bala Mohammad for supporting the initiative and many economic revival policies in Bauchi State which he described as unprecedented.

 

Speaker Abubakar Suleiman urged the Chairman of the Commission maintain the tempo of helping Governor Bala Mohammad in achieving his economic goals pledging that Bauchi State House of Assembly we remain supportive to the initiatives of the Commission and the Executive Arm of Government in salvaging the economic situation of the State.

 

Speaking earlier, the Chairman of the Commission Alhaji Tanko Yusuf Dutse told the Speaker that the entrepreneurship support programme is an effort by CBN aimed at addressing the worrisome phenomenon of unemployment in Nigeria by building the capacity of the youths/women and funding their business ideas.

A chieftain and leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kano State, Alhaji Ibrahim Ali Amin “Little,” has filed a legal action at the Kano State High Court challenging the establishment of an Independent Hisbah body in the state.

It will be recalled that Little had earlier written to the concerned parties, urging them to suspend the move in the interest of peace and stability in the state. A copy of the letter, addressed to former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, was also sent to the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf; Baffa Babba Danagundi; Haruna Ibn Sina; and the Department of State Services (DSS).

According to his Executive Assistant and Media Aide, Adnan Mukhtar, Little decided to seek legal redress following what he described as the respondents’ persistence and insistence on proceeding with the establishment of the Independent Hisbah.

“Dissatisfied with their recent actions and continued insistence on moving forward with the establishment process, Little approached the Kano State High Court to seek redress,” Mukhtar said.

Those listed as respondents in the suit include the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, the Kano State House of Assembly, the Attorney General of Kano State, the Kano State Hisbah Board, Baffa Babba Danagundi, and Haruna Ibn Sina.

In an official statement posted on his Facebook page, Little said:

“I have today instructed my lawyers to file an action challenging the establishment of an Independent Hisbah in Kano State. This follows my recent letter to the parties concerned and their insistence on proceeding with the establishment of the Independent Hisbah.

 

“I believe this move is an attempt to disrupt our peaceful coexistence at a time when the state is facing security challenges.

 

“The peace of Kano State remains our utmost priority.

Kano Sabuwa, In sha Allahu.”
