In a bid to address the pervasive issue of political thuggery, Governor Idris of Kebbi state has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative aimed at transforming political thugs into contributors to the workforce. This initiative, spearheaded by Alhaji Nura Bala-Fingiller, the Commissioner for Youths and Sports Development, reflects the government’s commitment to not only combatting thuggery but also fostering economic empowerment and self-sufficiency among marginalized youths.
The commissioner emphasized that Governor Nasir Idris has directed him to identify prominent political thugs, offer them a stipend, and equip them with skills through training programs. The aim is not only to eliminate thuggery but also to empower these individuals to become self-reliant and potentially create job opportunities for others.
