No fewer than 1,200 students trained under various skills acquisition programs graduated on Thursday in Igabi Local Government Area, Kaduna State, with each beneficiary receiving startup capital to launch their businesses.
The event was organized by the Tinubu-Uba Sani Mobilization Network in collaboration with the Renewed Hope Ambassadors Office, Kaduna State.

Dr. Abdulmumin Aminu Zaria, Chairman of the Tinubu-Uba Sani Mobilization Network, and Abubakar Mamadi, Renewed Hope State Coordinator, jointly supported the 1,200 graduates with the disbursement of startup funds at the graduation ceremony.
