TMS Empowers Over 150 Women, Youths in Jigawa, Ahead of Tinubu’s Campaign in the State
The Tinubu Movement for Sustainable Governance Foundation (TMS), popularly known as Tinubu Must Stay, has provided financial assistance to more than 150 women and youths in Kasuwar Kofa Ward, Jigawa State, as part of its grassroots economic empowerment and community development initiative.
The intervention, undertaken in collaboration with the Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi (KIA) Group, is designed to support small-scale businesses, promote self-reliance and expand economic opportunities for women and young people.
TMS Director of Special Duties, Dr. Usman Beita, said the latest exercise formed part of a longstanding weekly empowerment programme associated with the Director-General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, who also serves as Chairman and National Coordinator of TMS.
Beita said beneficiaries of previous interventions had received financial assistance, working tools and other materials intended to support entrepreneurship and improve household livelihoods.
“This weekend’s intervention under the weekly empowerment programme has the support and blessing of Malam Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, who is also the National Coordinator of TMS,” he said.
According to Beita, the initiative reflects the movement’s strategy of combining political engagement with practical community interventions, particularly for women, young people and vulnerable households.
He said TMS believes grassroots communities should not merely participate in political activities but also have opportunities to develop sustainable livelihoods and become more economically independent.
“We are indeed appreciative of DG Malam Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, CCIE, for his continued generosity and commitment to supporting livelihoods,” Beita added.

Beyond its empowerment programmes, TMS advocates political education, responsible citizenship, national unity and continuity in governance as part of its approach to sustainable development.
The movement, which campaigns for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, has sought to promote public understanding of the administration’s economic reforms, infrastructure investments, digital transformation initiatives and social programmes.
TMS also places emphasis on women’s economic participation, youth entrepreneurship, skills acquisition and digital inclusion, arguing that sustainable development requires citizens to have access to productive opportunities alongside greater understanding of public policies.
In Jigawa, the movement has sought to connect its grassroots engagements with broader conversations around technology and skills development. Beita said programmes promoting digital literacy, innovation and entrepreneurship could create additional opportunities, particularly for younger Nigerians.
He disclosed that TMS was also intensifying grassroots engagement ahead of forthcoming political activities in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital.
Beita expressed optimism that beneficiaries of empowerment and development initiatives would participate in future engagements and demonstrate support for the administration.
“The forthcoming APC presidential campaign in Dutse, Jigawa, is expected to witness beneficiaries of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic and transformational agenda coming out in solidarity with the President, the Jigawa State Governor and the First Lady in appreciation of their efforts towards building a better Nigeria,” he said.
He maintained that TMS would continue combining political participation with community-based programmes aimed at promoting entrepreneurship, economic independence and social development.
The Kasuwar Kofa intervention forms part of the movement’s broader strategy of integrating grassroots empowerment, policy sensitisation and political mobilisation as activities intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.
