The newly appointed Special Adviser to Gov. Abba Kabiru Yusuf on Cooperatives, Jamilu Kiru made this known to newsmen on Sunday.
He explained that various cooperative societies covering different trades, including agriculture, commerce, handicrafts, artisans, and transportation, would be selected, trained, and empowered across the state.
According to him, the empowerment strategy is in line with current digitalisation of global economic activities. “Majority of our people live in rural areas and lack basic knowledge and benefits of cooperative. They don’t belong to or form cooperative societies. “They are also deficient in modern Information Communication Technology and how it is driving socio-economic activities,” Abbas Kiru, also National President of the Market and Traders Association of Nigeria ,” he said.
He said that the State government would help establish and empower such cooperative groups as well as link the members up with finance and banking institutions to enable them to access intervention funds and ease their businesses.All rights reserved.
