The State Executive Council (SEC) meeting was held on Monday, 3rd March 2025<\/strong>, under the chairmanship of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Jigawa State, Malam Umar A. Namadi, FCA<\/strong>. The Council deliberated on key issues and made the following resolutions:<\/p>\n

\n

1. Promotion of Medium- and Small-Scale Entrepreneurship through Soft Loans<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In line with the Jigawa State Government\u2019s commitment to fostering Medium- and Small-Scale Enterprises (MSMEs)<\/strong> through enhanced access to soft loans, the Council reviewed the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the Bank of Industry (BoI), valued at \u20a66 billion<\/strong>. The MoU structure is as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The Jigawa State Government contributed \u20a62 billion<\/strong> as a matching fund<\/strong>, which was equally matched by the BoI with \u20a62 billion<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • Additionally, the State Government contributed another \u20a62 billion<\/strong> under a managed fund<\/strong> arrangement, ensuring increased access to funding for MSMEs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    However, the Council expressed serious concern<\/strong> over the low disbursement rate<\/strong> of these funds to qualified MSME applicants, which contradicts the essence of the signed MoU. Consequently, the following directives were issued:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The Bank of Industry (BoI) management<\/strong> should accelerate the loan approval and disbursement processes<\/strong> to ensure accessibility to eligible beneficiaries.<\/li>\n
    • A review of the MoU<\/strong> should be conducted, if necessary, to incorporate provisions that will guarantee swift and seamless access to funds<\/strong> for all eligible applicants.<\/li>\n
    • The State Committee overseeing the BoI partnership<\/strong> is mandated to invite officials of the Bank\u2019s State Branch<\/strong> for further discussions to resolve the identified challenges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      2. Approval of 2025 Constituency Projects under the Ministry of Basic Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      The State Executive Council considered and approved the implementation of various Constituency Projects<\/strong> under the Ministry of Basic Education, amounting to \u20a6347,645,818.52K<\/strong>. These projects include:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Construction of Islamiyya Schools<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Construction of SUBEB-type classrooms<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Renovation of classroom blocks<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Supply of books, chalk, and school uniforms<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The projects will be implemented across the following Local Government Areas (LGAs):<\/strong>
        Auyo, Babura, Birnin Kudu, Gagarawa, Garki, Gumel, Gwiwa, Gwaram, Jahun, Kazaure, Kiyawa, Kaugama, Kirikasamma, Miga, Roni, and Yankwashi.<\/em><\/p>\n
