In a continued demonstration of her commitment to grassroots empowerment and sustainable economic development, Amb. Dr. Halima Suleiman Zakari, through the Nana Halima Empowerment Initiative, recently facilitated a 5-day intensive makeup training for 150 beneficiaries in Jigawa State.

The training provided participants with hands-on experience in modern makeup techniques, client management, and industry best practices.

Beyond technical skills, the initiative was intentionally designed to build confidence, promote self-reliance, and equip beneficiaries with the entrepreneurial mindset required to succeed in today’s competitive market.

To further support their transition into business ownership, participants were presented with startup kits and certificates of completion.

They also received practical guidance on branding, advertising, and leveraging various media platforms to effectively promote their products and services.

Through this impactful initiative, the beneficiaries are now better positioned to establish and grow their own businesses, thereby contributing meaningfully to local economic growth, job creation, and community development.

The programme stands as yet another testament to Amb. Dr. Halima Suleiman Zakari’s dedication to empowering citizens and fostering inclusive prosperity.
