The lawmaker representing Darazo-Ganjuwa Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Mansur Manu Soro, has distributed 48 newly constructed lock-up shops across four major towns in Bauchi State. The towns benefiting from the initiative are Sade, Soro, Darazo, and Zara.
Speaking during the distribution of allocation letters to beneficiaries, Alhaji Najeeb Darazo, a member of the Darazo-Ganjuwa Legacy Project Management Committee, said the initiative is part of Soro's efforts to empower local entrepreneurs and stimulate economic growth through small-scale trading. "This is part of the lawmaker's efforts to empower local entrepreneurs and stimulate economic growth through small-scale trading," Najeeb said.
Najeeb urged recipients to make effective and responsible use of the shops to enhance their livelihoods and contribute to community development. According to Aleeyu Darazo, the media aide to Hon. Manu Soro, the construction of the shops began about two months ago as part of the lawmaker's broader constituency development strategy.
"This intervention is aimed at empowering our people economically by supporting grassroots commerce," Aleeyu said. "It's not just about buildings; it's about building opportunities." Several beneficiaries expressed their appreciation, describing the gesture as timely.
The distribution of the shops is seen as a significant boost to local trade in the communities, providing opportunities for entrepreneurs to establish and grow their businesses.
