Kaduna state Governor Nasir Ahdmad Elrufai has Kick started Industrial
Entrepreneurial Revolution with the commencement of the initial training of
5000 successful applicants taken from the 23 local governments.
The pragramme tagged KAD- STEP is in collaboration with
Bank of Industry, (BOI) and Kaduna Business School which are providing
the start up Loan and faculty respectively for the young
entrepreneurs. According to them, the entreprenours would be trained
on how to actualize their business proposals into reality.
The state Governor Malam Nasir El-Rufai represented by Commissioner for Budget
and Planning, Mohammed Abdullahi Sani said
the program is part of the efforts of the state government to make the state
great again.
“Be aware that there are many
people that want this opportunity so it is key to make a success of the
programme. It is an opportunity to change your life.
“The bank of industry has always
been there but people have not been really equipped to access it and that is
what the program is all about. The success will be determined by the
number of people you are able to employ.
“Our hope is to see you people
successful, because this programme is very close to the heart of the state
Governor Malam Nasir El-Rufai and will want to see you succeed, so that he can
bring in others,” he said.
Regional Head, North West, of the Bank of Industry (BOI) Ibrahim
Bissallah explained that Key to success in every business is anchored on access
to finance and knowledge.
“We are going to give you the
necessary support and encouragement and we are looking towards to other states
to emulate what Kaduna State Government has done,” he said.
The Guest Speaker, Captain Daniel Omale insisted that Business is the way to go
in the new world order, advising President Muhammadu Buhari that it is time to leave oil alone. “Oil prices are going down and what is the way
forward. Government need to diversify from oil.“
He therefore advice the
successful applicants to be serious with the program and that they can succeed,
even where others have failed. “You might falter but at the end
of the day you will succeed if you are committed.“
