“Every month, we will continue to extend our support to the women of Kano,” he affirmed.

As these women receive their grants, Kano takes a step toward gender equality and economic empowerment.

The governor’s commitment to uplifting women underscores the importance of fostering a society where every individual has the opportunity to thrive.
