President Bola Tinubu has authorized the approval of a N150,000 grant for each business owner in Jigawa State.
This announcement was made in a release by the State House, Abuja, and shared by Vice President Kashim Shettima on his official X handle on Tuesday.
Shettima mentioned that the grant is part of Nigeria’s strategy for digital transformation and leadership in Africa.
According to the statement, the Vice President spoke at the launch of the AI Expertise Blockchain and Technology Training and Outsourcing Initiative in Dutse.
Shettima emphasized that Nigeria is not just catching up with the rest of the world, but is poised to surpass them in terms of economy and technology.
Earlier, he had launched the 4th edition of the Expanded National Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Clinic, where he announced that Tinubu had directed that a grant of N150,000 be provided to each business owner in the state, as part of the Federal Government’s support to MSMEs across the country.
He noted that the N150,000 grant is an outright grant that does not require repayment from the beneficiaries.
