CPC Aspirant Unveils Youth, Women Empowerment Scheme

A Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) aspirant for Matazu
Local Government chairmanship in the forthcoming council elections in Katsina
State, Malam Ibrahim Murtala, on Tuesday unveiled a youth and women empowerment
scheme.

Speaking to the Tide in Matazu, Murtala said if elected he
would ensure transparent leadership and focus on providing projects and
services that would uplift the people living standard.

Murtala, who spoke through his campaign Coordinator, Malam
Aliyu Jibrin, said he sponsored two persons from each of the 10 political wards
in the council to attend skills acquisition training at Sani Abacha Youth
Centre in Kano.

He added that motorcycles and other small business take off
funds were distributed to people with a view to enhancing their wellbeing in
recognition of the economic hardship people faced in the area.

According to him, more programmes are on the process and
urged people to live in peace and vote wisely in the forthcoming council polls,
stressing the importance of considering candidate’s contribution and
achievements to the development of the area.

He added that based on the designed programmes, the youth
and women empowerment scheme would be expanded while improving public health
and education would be accorded priority attention.

The aspirant commended the efforts of Sen. Abu Ibrahim (CPC
Katsina) on distribution of cars, motorcycles, food stuffs and clothing
materials to party supporters across the state.

He enjoined party loyalists to support party leadership and
shun all actions capable of disrupting party unity to ensure maximum success of
the local government elections.

Murtala said that CPC programmes would benefit people in all
the political ward, adding that action of CPC representatives at political
offices nationwide manifested the party’s credibility and quality of its
people.
