In an era where political promises often go unfulfilled, concrete action stands out. Recently, Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Nasir Idris, made a significant and verifiable claim: his administration has employed over 5,000 young people in just two years.

This announcement, made during a meeting with a political group in Birnin Kebbi, was a direct rebuttal to opposition claims of inaction. But rather than just a number, the governor provided a detailed breakdown, offering a transparent look into his government’s strategy for tackling youth unemployment.

Governor Idris anchored this achievement on a principle of transparency, stating, “We will not promise what we cannot deliver, nor claim what we have not done.”

So, where did these 5,000 jobs go?

• 2,000 as Teachers: A massive investment in the future of the state’s education sector, addressing a critical shortage and improving the quality of learning.

• Over 1,500 as Health Workers: A crucial boost to the healthcare system, strengthening services from primary care clinics to major hospitals.

• The Remainder in Law and Other Professions: Filling vital roles in the state’s civil service and judicial system with qualified graduates.

The Executive Governor Dr. Idris anchored this achievement on a principle of transparency, stating, “We will not promise what we cannot deliver, nor claim what we have not done.” He has invited public scrutiny, assuring that every single appointment is verifiable.

This large-scale employment drive is more than just a statistic; it’s a lifeline for thousands of families and a strategic investment in Kebbi’s most valuable asset: its youth. It demonstrates a governance model that prioritizes actionable results over empty rhetoric.
