The Federal Government in collaboration with the Nasarawa State Government, has disbursed loans to 500 women and youths under the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) Micro Enterprise Enhancement Scheme (MEES) in the state.

The Minister of State said the empowerment programme was in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s concern about the poor and the less privileged, and the need to improve their economic status.
Keyamo said that in addition to the disbursement of loans to 500 women and youths, the Federal Government has plans to train 50 persons each from all the local government areas in the state on special skills as part of efforts to lift the people out of poverty.

Speaking, the Governor of Nasarawa State, Engr Abdullahi A. Sule, thanked the Federal Government for coming to their aid to support the people of State with empowerment programmes. “The amount may not mean a lot to some people but it means a lot to majority of the beneficiaries because that is the working capital they need”, he said.
He thanked the Minister of State for Labour and Employment for the additional 50 beneficiaries that would not only be trained but will be given the tools to work with. “They will have training, tools and support to be out of poverty. During the selection, we will be honest to select those that are truly in need so that they can benefit maximally from it.

The Governor then donated 304 hectares of land to the National Directorate of Employment for Vocational and Agricultural Training Centre in Nasarawa State.
Earlier, the Director-General, National Directorate of Employment, Dr Nasir Mohammed Ladan Argungu, said that as part of its mandate, the Directorate run skill acquisition programmes aimed at creating employment through entrepreneur skills development.

“Our aim is to ensure that the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) of Mr. President, and his promise to Nigerians to take out 100million Nigerians out of poverty in the next ten years becomes a reality”.
He thanked the State Government for providing land to NDE to build its permanent office in the state.

He said that the event was to flag off MEES to 500 beneficiaries from Nasarawa State adding that the disbursement of the loans was on its first phase, and more were in the pipeline.

Today, as Abdulkabir Aliu, the visionary founder and CEO of Matrix Energy Group, marks his 50th birthday, a wave of celebration sweeps across Nigeria and beyond. From the corridors of power to the hearts of communities he has touched, Aliu’s journey is hailed as a testament to brilliance, resilience, and boundless generosity. It is a moment not just to honor a man but to reflect on a legacy of transformation that has shaped industries and uplifted lives.

Born into a Nigeria striving for greatness, Aliu has become one of its brightest beacons. At 50, he embodies the golden age—a point where wisdom meets vigor, where achievements inspire and the horizon stretches toward even greater heights. Under his leadership, Matrix Energy Group has emerged as a colossus in Nigeria’s energy landscape. From oil and gas logistics to LPG distribution, shipping, and fertilizer blending, the breadth of his enterprise reflects a mind unbound by limits and a heart committed to national growth.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s tribute captures the essence of Aliu’s impact: a transformative force not only in energy but in the social fabric of the nation. “Abdulkabir Aliu exemplifies the spirit of resilience, innovation, and service that elevates communities and strengthens our nation,” the President remarked, lauding his extraordinary contributions to Nigeria’s economic and social progress.

But Abdulkabir Aliu’s achievements go beyond boardrooms and balance sheets. His philanthropic endeavors speak of a man who understands the deeper purpose of success. In Maiduguri, his vision gave rise to a state-of-the-art Kidney Complex, a beacon of hope in a region often in need. At the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, his generosity has restored dignity and life through the renovation of healthcare facilities. Over 4,000 scholarships bear his name, a lifeline to students whose dreams might otherwise have withered. Women empowered through his skills training and financial support carry forward his legacy of compassion and opportunity.

In a nation too often plagued by fleeting promises, Aliu stands as a pillar of integrity and vision. At 50, he is not merely celebrating years but the culmination of dreams fulfilled and the promise of dreams yet to come. Abdulkabir Aliu is a living testament to what it means to be a leader, a benefactor, and above all, a patriot. As Nigeria raises its glass to toast his golden jubilee, one thing is clear: his legacy is only just beginning.
