Jos North PYC Members Receive Entrepreneurship Grants from Dachung Musa Bagos Foundation
Members of the Plateau Youth Council (PYC) Jos North Chapter have received entrepreneurship grants from the Dachung Musa Bagos Foundation, following a two-day intensive training aimed at equipping them with business management skills.
The grant presentation took place on 6th August 2025 at the Plateau State Microfinance Development Agency (PLASMIDA) hall, marking the climax of the training program facilitated by PLASMIDA as part of the foundation’s initiative to empower young people and nurture them into self-reliant leaders.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Executive Director of the foundation, represented by Programs Manager Mr. Alpha Dali, urged beneficiaries to see the support as an opportunity to grow their small and medium enterprises (SMEs). He encouraged them to apply the funds strategically to strengthen their businesses and contribute to community development.
Chairman of PYC Jos North appreciated the foundation for the gesture, describing it as a practical step toward youth empowerment. He urged the beneficiaries to demonstrate transparency and accountability in using the funds to attract more opportunities for young people in the future.
Some beneficiaries, in their remarks, expressed gratitude to the foundation for the empowerment, pledging to invest the funds in ways that would expand their ventures and create avenues for others to benefit.
The event drew a large turnout of youths from Jos North LGA, reflecting the interest and enthusiasm for entrepreneurship support in the community.
The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, vice presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso has warned the African Democratic Congress, ADC, against giving its presidential ticket to a Northern candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Kwankwaso gave the warning during an interactive session with journalists at his residence in Kano on Sunday.
Throwing his weight behind the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, the former Kano State governor said it is the turn of the South to produce the next President in 2027, adding that the North should wait till 2031.
He added that it is unfair for the ADC to give its ticket to a Northern candidate when the South has not completed its eight years.
"ADC will lose if it gives ticket to North. It's the turn of the South in 2027. ADC should not give its presidential ticket to the North. North should wait till 2031," Kwankwaso said.
He advised the ADC to zone its presidential ticket to the South if it wants to win the 2027 election, saying Nigerians want fairness and equity.
DAILY POST reports that Kwankwaso, who is from the North, is the running mate of Peter Obi, who is from the South under the platform of the NDC.
