We have evolved, Namadi urges Jigawa indigenes in Abuja to return home

Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, has called on economic migrants from the state living in Abuja to return home and explore the thriving agricultural sector.

A National Bureau of Statistics record shows that Jigawa has struggled with high unemployment rates in recent years.

As of 2023, the state’s unemployment rate stood at 23.1%, significantly higher than the national average.

The high unemployment rate in Jigawa has contributed to the outflow of economic migrants to other parts of the country in search of better opportunities, as many residents, particularly youths, have been forced to leave their homes in search of greener pastures, often ending up in cities like Kano, Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt, among others.

The governor made this appeal during a visit by a group of Jigawa economic migrants to his residence in Asokoro, Abuja.

Namadi, while speaking in a video clip of the event sighted by  reporters in Jigawa on Friday, highlighted the significant progress made in Jigawa’s agricultural sector.

In the clip, Namadi told the group of Abuja-based Jigawa economic migrants to come back home and stay.

“We have improved agriculture; we have created jobs in Jigawa… because in Jigawa now, in Jigawa today, anyone who lives in Jigawa will not lose the business he will do; look at how we are doing agriculture and business,” he added.

Namadi, who emphasised that Jigawa now offers numerous job opportunities in agriculture, eliminating the need for residents to seek employment in other towns, also encouraged the migrants to return home and take advantage of these opportunities.

He stated further that his administration has launched a new agriculture policy, focusing on mechanisation and irrigation infrastructure to boost food security and create employment opportunities. “This initiative aims to position Jigawa as a hub for agro-industrial activities in Nigeria and West Africa,” he said.

However, the governor commended the migrants for their discipline and dedication to preserving Jigawa’s dignity while living in Abuja, urging them (the migrants) to return home and contribute to the state’s development, citing the potential for doubled earnings in Jigawa compared to Abuja.

According to him, Jigawa’s agricultural sector has tremendous potential, with the state producing crops like sesame seeds, rice, and wheat.

Namadi further appealed to economic migrants to think of beginning a new chapter in Jigawa’s development, adding, “With its thriving agricultural sector and growing economy, the state is poised for significant growth and progress.”

On their part, the visiting migrants in the sighted video clip expressed their gratitude for the governor’s programmes supporting businesses and employment.

They said that many of them have received messages to join initiatives like the summer farming programme and school security, demonstrating the administration’s commitment to empowering its citizens.

The migrants praised the governor’s efforts, stating that they have benefitted from his programmes and are eager to return home and contribute to Jigawa’s development.

Arsenal thrash Man City 3-0 to lift Community Shield

Arsenal beat Manchester City 3-0 in the Community Shield on Sunday, giving Mikel Arteta an early-season triumph while condemning new City boss Enzo Maresca to defeat in his first game in charge in the traditional curtain-raiser to the campaign.   With their fourth victory over City in the fixture, Arsenal maintained their 100% win record over their opponents with an emphatic performance at the Principality Stadium, where Riccardo Calafiori, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard found the net. “We showed our level today, we showed that we’re ready,” Odegaard told TNT Sports. “I think we showed that we’re serious, we want to do it again. There’s more trophies to go for and that’s the aim.” Having failed to convince in pre-season performances that raised a few eyebrows, Arsenal exploded into action with devastating effect right from kick-off, needing just 23 seconds to silence any lingering doubts about their readiness. Myles Lewis-Skelly was deployed in midfield and he threaded an excellent pass to set up left-back Calafiori, who calmly finished past Gianluigi Donnarumma to give Arsenal the perfect start against the FA Cup champions. The early strike — the first goal scored in the opening minute of the fixture in 58 years — set the tone for a dominant display where Arsenal looked fitter, sharper, more confident and full of attacking verve. Arsenal celebrate first premier league title since 2004 with massive parade City did not have a clear opportunity until the 20th minute, when Phil Foden curled a shot from range but David Raya was up to the task, diving to his right to deny the midfielder, and later saved a shot from Erling Haaland. Arsenal doubled their lead when Odegaard floated in a cross to the far post, where new signing Christos Tzolis headed the ball back across goal for Havertz to head home, with Donnarumma accidentally spilling the ball over the line. Arsenal needed just three minutes after the restart to make it 3-0, with Tzolis grabbing his second assist when he set up Odegaard, whose delicate first touch took the ball past Josko Gvardiol before he beat a wrong-footed Donnarumma with ease. Maresca’s side showed only flashes of their attacking threat, but Raya stood firm to preserve a clean sheet while Haaland — last season’s Golden Boot winner with 27 goals — was kept quiet and withdrawn before the hour mark. Arsenal kick off the new Premier League campaign on Friday against Coventry City, and Odegaard said they were going to play on the front foot to defend their crown. “We’re going to attack it. We want to do it again. It was an unbelievable achievement and experience for all of us,” he said. “When you get the taste of how nice it is, you want to do it again. And there’s also a few other ones we want to take,” he added, referring to the Champions League title that slipped through their fingers in the final against Paris Saint-Germain. “At this club, you want to win all of them. But of course, that’s a big one.” The Gunners’ victory over the FA Cup holders gave them their second trophy in four months and their 18th Community Shield title overall. The match was played at the Principality Stadium while Wembley hosts Canadian singer The Weeknd’s ‘After Hours til Dawn’ tour.
