The Jigawa state government says 440 women in Birniwa local government area of the state will be empowered with 1,320 goats under the state goats loan microcredit programme.

NAN reports that Ahmed Zubairu, chairman of the goats distribution committee, was speaking in Birniwa on Friday after screening the women for the second phase of the scheme.

Zubairu said the women were drawn from 11 wards in the local government for the loan which was to be paid back within 18 months.

He said each beneficiary would receive one he-goat and two she-goats to breed.

He listed requirements for accessing the goats to include agreeing to refund the loan, showing evidence of being an indigene of the area and benefitting from the programme for the first time.

Speaking at the event, Mohammad Jaji-Dole, the council chairman, cautioned the beneficiaries against mishandling the animals.

He also encouraged them to be ready to pay back the loan with three goats within 18 months so that other women could benefit from the programme.

Lol... Not bad so far as the goats breed. Sounds like a fair deal to me

There's something about power I do not understand. When those politician are seeking for political power, the seems to be visionary and know exactly the problems of this country. But as soon as they're elected, they'll be clueless and making irrational policies. And soon as they're voted out power or their time elapsed, their reasoning will be back to default settings. I've observed this scenario with people like Shehu Sani, Ben Murray-Bruce and even Obasanjo.

Few years down the line this Jigawa state Gov. Alh. Badaru will certainly reflect back and realise how stupid such misplaced priorities in the name of poverty alleviation looks.

He has all the resources to boost Crop production which Jigawa state is known for, but instead he chooses to share goats that might be stolen, die or even eaten by the beneficiaries.

The new year celebration is sure for those women and their families ..

Hope this loan didn't come before Christmas ooo

Things are happening

Actually this is not a bad idea at all.

It's a sort of a clever network to grow the livestock in the state while creating economic opportunities tailored made for the women of Jigawa.

A local solution for a local problem.
