Bauchi, Nigeria – Yesterday, AIG GUYABA TAILORING FASHION DESIGN SERVICES (AIG) welcomed a delegation from the Yakubu Adamu Grassroots Movement, led by Hon. Jibrin Musa Yayani, to its bustling training centre on the outskirts of Bauchi metropolis. The visit comes at a pivotal moment for the centre, which recently marked a milestone by completing a free sewing programme for twenty female orphans, a project sponsored by Hon. Yakubu Adamu, PhD, a prominent political figure and frontrunner in the 2027 Bauchi gubernatorial race. The delegation’s tour was aimed at assessing the impact of the programme and exploring ways to deepen collaboration between the movement and AIG.

During the tour, the group was shown the state‑of‑the‑art sewing machines, pattern‑making stations, and a modest but well‑equipped design studio that has become a beacon of hope for underprivileged youths in the state. The centre’s director, Mrs. Fatima Guyaba, highlighted that since its inception two years ago, AIG has trained more than sixty orphans at no cost, providing them with the technical skills needed to secure employment or start their own micro‑enterprises. “These young women are now able to earn a living, support their families, and contribute to the local economy,” Mrs. Guyaba said. “Our goal is to transform this facility into a fully‑fledged fashion hub that can serve as a model for other states.”

Hon. Jibrin Musa Yayani expressed his delegation’s optimism, noting that the centre’s success stories align perfectly with the grassroots movement’s vision of empowering the less privileged. “We see AIG as a catalyst for social change,” Yayani remarked. “By supporting initiatives like this, we are not only providing skills but also fostering entrepreneurship and self‑reliance among our youth. We pledge to continue advocating for resources that will enable AIG to expand its capacity and reach even more beneficiaries.”

Hon. Yakubu Adamu, PhD, who funded the recent orphan training programme, reiterated his commitment to education and vocational training as tools for poverty alleviation. “Investing in the future of our girls is investing in the future of Bauchi State,” Adamu said. “The fact that over sixty orphans have already benefited from free training is a testament to what can be achieved when public figures, civil society, and private enterprises work together. I will continue to champion policies that support vocational education and the development of industrial hubs across the state.”

The centre’s impact extends beyond the numbers. Alumni of the programme have launched small tailoring businesses, supplied uniforms to local schools, and participated in regional fashion showcases, gaining recognition for their creativity and craftsmanship. One graduate, 19‑year‑old Aisha Mohammed, shared that the skills she acquired have allowed her to support her younger siblings and save for her own small workshop. “I never imagined I could earn a living from sewing,” Aisha said. “AIG gave me a future, and I am grateful for the support from Hon. Adamu and the grassroots movement.”

Looking ahead, AIG GUYABA TAILORING FASHION DESIGN SERVICES plans to introduce advanced modules in digital fashion design, pattern grading, and sustainable textile production, aiming to position Bauchi as a burgeoning fashion hub in Nigeria. The centre also seeks partnerships with international NGOs and fashion institutions to provide scholarships and exchange programmes for its trainees. As the political landscape in Bauchi evolves, stakeholders hope that the continued success of AIG will inspire further investment in vocational training, ensuring that the state’s youth are equipped to drive economic growth and cultural innovation.

From:  Mustapha Aminu  Abuja, The National Coordinator for Advocacy for Good Governance and Accountability (AGGA), Kayode Olawole, has condemned the arrest of Dr. Abdullahi Bello Bodejo and accused the Taraba State Government of acting in a compromised manner. In a communique issued in Lagos on Monday, Olawole described the development as a deliberate attempt to damage the reputation of the All Progressives Congress (APC), not only in Taraba State but across the North and the country at large. According to Olawole, the treatment being meted out to Alhaji Dr. Abdullahi Bello Bodejo by the Taraba State Government is both wrong and unacceptable. He argued that the repeated arrests and what he termed political witch-hunting amount to a misplaced priority that undermines the spirit of inclusivity within the ruling party. Rather than alienate such a figure, Olawole maintained, the government should engage him as a stakeholder whose influence could consolidate APC’s strength in the r...

Gombe Motorcycle Ban: ACYLF Speaks

From: Faith Johnson  The Arewa Christian Youth Leadership Forum has commended the Nigeria Police Force for restricting motorcycle use in Gombe State between 7:00 PM and 6:00 AM to enhance public safety and reduce crime. In a statement signed by Dunijir Gatama, National President of ACYLF, the group believes this move is timely and necessary given the increasing security concerns and the role motorcycles often play in facilitating criminal activities. The ACYLF notes that the restriction is justified due to security concerns, public safety, and traffic management. Motorcycles are frequently used by criminals for quick transportation during crimes, and the restriction has already led to a noticeable reduction in crime rates. Additionally, motorcycle accidents, especially at night, are a leading cause of injuries and fatalities. While supporting the Nigeria Police Force's action, ACYLF urges the Gombe State Government to address the economic implications of the restriction on resident...
