National Directorate of Employment (NDE) Disburses 100,000 as a Loan to 108 Agricultural Empowerment Scheme Beneficiaries in Sokoto

The state Coordinator of the agency said this was to enable the beneficiaries to be self reliant and contribute their quota to the development of the country.

She said the programme was a combined orientation made up of 108 beneficiaries of Agricultural Empowerment Scheme, Community Based Agricultural Empowerment Scheme, Sustainable Agricultural Development Empowerment Scheme and Graduate Agricultural Empowerment Scheme that were given loans of N100, 000 each.

Mrs. Danmallam added that the beneficiaries are graduates of NDE agricultural Extension, Poultry and Vegetable production. She said the money disbursed to them was a loan facility which would attract a single digit simple interest rate of 9 % and will have a moratorium of six months before beneficiaries will start paying back and it is repayable in three years.

Therefore, urged the them to ensure timely repayment to enable other unemployed persons to also benefit.

In his goodwill message, representative of the Director Rural Employment Programme, Mr. Joshua Fabgbemi said the effort of the NDE through the rural Employement Promotion Department is to reduce unemployment through the agricultural sector.

Also speaking, the special guest of honour Dr Jazuli Alhassan from Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto, urged participants to take advantage of the programmes to contribute in the development of the country.

He also assured of their continued readiness to partner with NDE towards ensuring the training of unemployed youths in the country.

Some of the beneficiaries of the loan appreciated NDE for the gesture and promised to be good ambassadors of the scheme.

The Saudi official said the three Gulf countries carried out intense diplomatic efforts to persuade the U.S. president to give Iran’s leaders an opportunity to show remorse, adding that communication channels remain open to help build mutual trust.

The possibility of U.S. military action against Iran has been a key issue causing serious concern in Arab diplomatic efforts, especially among countries of the Gulf region. This concern stems from their proximity to...

WHEN LIES GO VIRAL: DEFENDING TRUTH IN NIGERIA AND WEST AFRICA’S DIGITAL PUBLIC SPHERES

Across Nigeria and West Africa, digital technology has reshaped how citizens engage with information, governance, and public debate. Mobile phones and social media platforms have become dominant sources of news, especially for young people and communities with limited access to traditional media. While this transformation has expanded civic participation and freedom of expression, it has also intensified the spread of misinformation, posing serious risks to democracy, public health, and social cohesion. Misinformation is no longer a marginal problem. It is a structural challenge that affects elections, security, development communication, and trust in public institutions. Addressing it requires coordinated action that combines ethical journalism, media literacy, platform accountability, and evidence based policy responses. THE DIGITAL INFORMATION LANDSCAPE IN NIGERIA AND WEST AFRICA Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country and one of its most digitally active societies. So...

"I Will Never Compromise With Terrorists", Says El-Rufai

Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir El-Tufa'i has said he would never compromise with the gunmen who kidnapped 39 students in Kaduna State. He said, "how can you take money and give it to a terrorist who will use it to buy weapons that will also be used against you". Last week, 39 students were abducted by terrorists and demanded a ransom of 500 million naira from Kaduna State Government. The governor had said last month that he would never reconcile with any armed robber for ransom. The northern Nigerian state of Kaduna has been rocked by a spate of kidnappings in recent weeks, with two weeks ago raiding an airport staff area in Kaduna abducting 11 people and their whereabouts are still unknown.
