In a dedicated effort to enhance the economic prospects of his constituents, Hassan K. Jakduwa aka IBN Jaks, the Federal House of Representatives member for Bade/Jakusko constituency, has spearheaded a transformative initiative.
This initiative involved organizing a comprehensive training session for 250 individuals within his constituency, focusing on the domains of Fishery and Poultry Farming.
Conducted at the Saleh Suleiman Event Center in Gashua, Yobe State.
The one-day intensive training was led by Malam Haruna Mamman, a distinguished fishery expert, and Malam Musa Mustapha, an accomplished livestock expert.
The opening ceremony was graced by Malam Salisu Jawi, representing RT. Hon. Jakduwa, who underscored the primary goal of the initiative.
"The objective behind training 250 individuals in fishery and poultry is to alleviate poverty in the region and empower them to be self-reliant, Ibn JAKS explained"
As part of the empowerment initiative, each participant received a capital of 30,000 naira to facilitate the prompt initiation of income-generating activities.
The 250 participants were carefully selected from the 20 electoral wards under the Bade/Jakusko Federal Constituency, encompassing diverse age groups and genders.

IMPACTONLINENIGERIA gathered that participants gained valuable insights into the general knowledge of fishery and poultry farming, essential prerequisites before starting their farms, investment strategies with realistic profit expectations, and various types/methods of fish and poultry farming. Practical aspects, such as constructing a fish pond and poultry farm management, were also covered.
Expressing gratitude in a vote of thanks, one of the participants Hauwa Saleh commended the lawmaker for the capacity-building initiative and prayed for continued engagement in various skill areas.
Another beneficiary, Malam Usman Abdullahi echoed similar sentiments, urging participants to effectively utilize the knowledge acquired during the training.
Furthermore, Hassan K. Jakduwa extended his benevolence by facilitating the distribution of 1260 (100kg) bags of Millet (420 bags), Maize (420 bags), and Guinea Corn (420 bags).
Additionally, 275 bags (100kg) of Beans Seedling and 275 bags (50kg) of N.P.K. 15.15.15 were distributed across the 20 wards of Bade/Jakusko Federal Constituency, benefitting various household heads, including widows, the physically challenged, and different groups/associations.
This multi-faceted initiative is poised not only to impact and improve the livelihoods of the participants but also to stimulate economic activities within the constituency. The overarching goal is to foster self-dependency and alleviate poverty in the region.
