Ganduje distributed 520 sewing machines, 520 sets of barbing equipment and generators, 520 sets of popcorn making machines, as well as N10, 000 startup capital to each of the beneficiaries.

He urged the beneficiaries to use the donation judiciously in order to enable them become self-reliant, especially considering the the present economic recession in the country. He said a monitoring team would be constituted to monitor the programme.

The governor further assured that more initiatives would be put up under the empowerment programme of his administration to ensure that people in the state engage in meaningful economic ventures.
