According to him, “Mr. President has prioritized young people through many initiatives aimed at making our youth self-reliant. The President doesn’t want to give you food; he is giving you the means to get your own food.”

He listed several of the administration’s initiatives, such as the training of three million young Nigerians in IT skills, the Scale Up Artisans project, and the Nigeria Youth Academy, among other interventions.

He added, “For the first time, we have a truly young Nigerian as Minister of Youth Development. We also have other young people in the cabinet and in key appointments. We must appreciate that.”

Abdulaziz explained that the IT training he sponsored was a way of giving back to the community and uplifting the underprivileged to reach their full potential, as part of his ongoing commitment to community development.

During the event, Abdulaziz also presented computers to some of the best-performing students in recognition of their dedication and excellence. He noted that this initiative is part of a broader vision to equip the youth with relevant digital skills, aligning with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu’s administration.

He reaffirmed his commitment to continuing the empowerment of the youth and the overall development of Fagge LGA and Kano State. He emphasized that such initiatives are essential to actualizing the aspirations of the Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritizes inclusive growth, innovation, and self-reliance.

A community representative, Alhaji Suleiman Ibrahim, expressed the community’s appreciation to the presidential aide for his consistent support and developmental strides. He assured that the community would reciprocate through continued support and prayers for the success of the Tinubu administration.
