Member representing Gummi/Bukkuyum Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. (Engr.) Suleman Abubakar Gumi has launched the phase two of his empowerment and peace programme.
The programme was launched in Gummi and Bukkuyum Local Government Areas of Zamfara State on Saturday, January 30th, 2021, and had a total of four hundred (400) youth beneficiaries, with two hundred (200) beneficiaries representing from each Local Government comprising males and females.
A total sum of two million naira (N2,000,000.00) was disbursed to beneficiaries in the phase two of the empowerment programme.
Gumi hopes that the programme will help to address the problem of unemployment and poverty and promote self-reliance amongst youths in his constituency as well as complement the peace initiative of Zamfara State Governor, His Excellency, Dr. Bello Muhammad Matawalle.
*He charged the beneficiaries: “I urge you all to make the most of this training. Do not despise little beginning, use your cash to startup something small and become self-reliant.”He added, “we desire development but meaningful development will come when we have peace. Let’s put to practice all that we will learn in the course of this training and this will ease the work of our Governor, His Excellency, Dr. Bello Muhammad Matawalle.”*
The peace training was organised in collaboration with the Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR).
