A businessman and philanthropist from Yobe State, Alh. Balarabe Abdullahi, will on Saturday empower 100 youths of Nguru town in Yobe State with N1m each to start and expand their businesses. Governor Mai Mala Buni is expected to lead a delegation to the event scheduled to be held at the Emir of Nguru’s palace.

Abdullahi said after due scrutiny of the business plans of the young entrepreneurs by a highly professional and unbiased team which his Foundation assembled, an agreement was reached to support them financially to “kick off with their initiatives or expand their businesses as the case may be.
