• To get loan to set up their trades


A number of 145 girl children and women across the 11 wards of Sabon Gari Local Government, Kaduna State benefitted from the skills acquisition training programme organised by the AbuFarik Support Organization in collaboration with Arewa Charity Centre for Women and Girl-Child.


The skills acquisition training programme was in support of the chairmanship bid of Mallam Tijjani Ibrahim (AbuFarik), candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).


The beneficiaries were presented certificate of participation today, May 15, 2021 at Aminu LGEA Primary School, Sabon Gari.


Speaking at the event, AbuFarik commended the participants for their interest and time, charging them to make good use of the knowledge gained through the training.


He also emphasised that empowerment of women, youths and other demographies will be a top priority of his government.


“I want to appreciate the AbuFarik Support Organization for this laudable programme. It's a step in the right direction for the empowerment of the girl child and women. Let me also commend the input of the Arewa Charity Centre for Women and Girl-Child in terms of facilitating the training sessions. I pray that God will bless you abundantly. Women and the girl-child remain one of vulnerable social demographies in the society. Programmes like this targeted at their empowerment are therefore always welcome.


“I congratulate the beneficiaries and charge them all to make good use of the knowledge acquired in the cause of the training. Many persons have succeeded through the skills you have learnt. What's required is commitment, hardwork and prayer,” the chairmaship candidate said.


Meanwhile, the process of facilitating loans for the 145 beneficiaries to set up their trades has been activated and is already at the advanced stage.


While 38 persons enrolled in the makeup category, 107 persons went for the catering category.

  Condemnation of Politicization of Legal Dispute and Unjust Drag of Rt. Hon. Tajuddeen Abbas’ Name into Unrelated Matter  The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), the apex and most respected students' body in Nigeria, has observed with deep concern the ongoing controversy surrounding the arrest and prosecution of some individuals over alleged defamatory social media posts related to business and land transactions. While we recognize the right of aggrieved parties to seek legal redress, we are deeply worried about the deliberate politicization of this matter and the unwarranted dragging of the name of the Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Rt.

We remain unwavering in our commitment to human rights, democratic ideals, and the rule of law. However, while we...

AREWA YOUTH FOR LIBERTY (AYFL) Condemns DAPPMAN’s Actions, Declares Full Support for Dangote Refinery

The Arewa Youth for Liberty (AYFL) strongly condemns the recent actions of the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) against the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals Company. We view this as an act of sabotage and outright hostility toward the Nigerian people, who stand to benefit greatly from the refinery’s efforts to reduce fuel prices and provide massive employment opportunities. Dangote Refinery has invested heavily in the growth and development of Nigeria’s oil sector, including spending over ₦3 trillion to acquire trucks that will ensure nationwide distribution of petroleum products at reduced costs. Rather than commend and collaborate with Dangote Refinery in its efforts to ease the hardship caused by rising fuel prices, DAPPMAN and its allies, including NUPENG, appear determined to frustrate these positive strides. If such hostile actions by DAPPMAN continue, AYFL will have no option but to resist and confront any individual, group, or...
