The program, announced on Tuesday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa, is part of the women’s empowerment scheme under KSADP’s Livestock Fattening Programme. It covers all 44 Local Government Areas of the state.
Each beneficiary received three goats to help them establish livestock businesses. The governor assured that more phases will follow, with plans to distribute 1,342 cows and 1,822 rams.
