Rep. Kabiru Mai-Palace (PDP-Gusau/Tsafe), has launched a multi-million naira empowerment project for 120 women in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara.
The project was launched in Tsafe town with the beneficiaries receiving items like Refrigerators, Grinding and Sewing Machines, among other items, to start-up businesses.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mai-Palace said that the project was aimed at complementing the state government’s efforts at tackling unemployment and poverty, especially among women.

“Women gave me lots of support during my campaigns. Since we have won the seats, we have no option than to start implementing our promises.
“I have promised to sustain this programme every month. I will select 120 women from my constituency and empower them.
“Recently, we procured 1,000 WAEC and NECO SSCE registration forms which we distributed to our SSS3 students. We shall continue to do this,” the lawmaker said.
In his remarks, the Deputy Governor of Zamfara, Alhaji Mahadi Aliyu, commended the lawmaker for the efforts and urged others to emulate him.
