Real reason why Katsina gov’t distributed goats to secondary school girls revealed

The Katsina State Commissioner of Education, Professor Halimatu Idris stated that the aim of the State Government by distributing goats to secondary school students is to empower them to be self-reliant as well as well as to learn and excel in Animal Husbandry.

The Katsina State government has launched goat empowerment programme for secondary school students in the state.

The Commissioner of Education, Professor Halimatu Idris made this known while launching the programme at Government Girls Arabic Secondary School, Dutsin-ma on Saturday.

Mrs. Idris, a professor, said the goat empowerment programme was part of the Masari administration’s efforts toward improving the lives of the people and development of education in the state.

She said the state government had selected 20 secondary schools in each of the three senatorial zones for the take-off of the programme.

It could be recalled that sometime in August last year, the state government purchased 4,500 special goats breed and distributed to women in the state.
