Earlier today, the Katsina State Government, through KASEDA, held an implementation committee meeting ahead of the launch of the Katsina State Graduate Entrepreneurship Fund (KGEF). The meeting focused on agreeing on clear and effective implementation mechanisms to ensure the smooth rollout of the programme.
The committee meeting was chaired by the Director General of KASED, Dr @BabangidaRuma, and held in the presence of Dr. Ibrahim Musa Gani, Director of Enterprises at KASEDA; Engr, Dr Surajo Yazid Abukur the Honourable Commissioner for Youth and Sports; and Dr. Aminu Bala, Executive Secretary of the Katsina State Asset Management Agency, alongside other key stakeholders.
The KGEF is designed to provide interest-free soft loans to Katsina State indigene graduates of Degree, NCE, and Diploma programmes, using valid certificates or statements of results. The initiative aims to promote sustainable graduate entrepreneurship, reduce unemployment through self-employment, encourage higher enrolment in tertiary institutions, and stimulate economic growth through youth-led businesses.
Graduates across Katsina State are encouraged to stay tuned for upcoming announcements as KASEDA prepares to roll out this important initiative.
