The Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Information, commenced public sensitization in Jigawa state on several interventions and economic empowerment packages in Nigeria.
Speaking at the flagging off of the campaign in Dutse capital the head of the Federal Information Centre Jigawa state, Bashir Dahiru Galadanci said, the program aims to raise public awareness of the policies and program of President Bola Ahmad Tinubu-led administration.
Galadanci explained that, for every government to succeed in moving society forward, it must raise the citizens’ awareness of the opportunities and the role everyone expects to play in society.
He noted that to address the decades of economic challenges, open windows for job creation and enhance productivity, the federal government has initiated different empowerment and grant packages and they are at the doorstep of Nigerians waiting for them to access.
“It was learned that many Nigerians are not aware of the opportunities, so at our level in Jigawa state, we were directed to engage with stakeholders before we move out down to the communities for the enlightenment.
“The packages are there for every category of people, including Students, Graduates, Farmers, Food vendors, Business owners, civil servants, Small and medium entrepreneurs.”
However, Mr. Galadanci added that the federal government is currently executing various infrastructure projects, implementing policies and programs to reform the country’s economy and public service delivery, and there is a need for every Nigerian to be aquatinted of the need to support it.
“We can only have the Nigeria of our dreams, a nation full of opportunities, prosperity peace, and development, if everyone understands that the country belongs to all of us and we must jointly work with patriotism.
“Therefore the public enlightenment was aimed at raising the public awareness and bridging all the gaps for achieving the desired goals,” Galadanci declared.
