The Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Yusuf Dahiru Liman, has disbursed ₦100 million to support education and vulnerable groups in his constituency.

A sum of ₦40 million was allocated to cover the NECO registration fees of 1,000 secondary school students in Kaduna South Local Government Area.

The education support project, which began in 2016 with 100 beneficiaries, aims to empower youth through education. The Speaker reaffirmed his commitment to sustaining the program beyond his tenure as Speaker.

The initiative has received positive feedback from the community, with the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Malam Sani Liman Kila, hailing the Speaker's intervention as a major boost to human capital development. The APC Chairman of Kaduna South, Hon. Yakubu Ibrahim Soso, commended the Speaker for giving back to his community, describing the educational support as an investment in future leadership.

The Speaker also disclosed that resit fees have already been paid for over 500 students who failed their previous NECO exams. He pledged to sponsor students interested in sitting for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
