The Kebbi Forum of Special Advisers to Gov. Nasir Idris says it will donate N20 million to assist youths and women in line with the empowerment programme of the governor.

The Chairman of the forum, Alhaji Kabiru Sani-Giant made this known at a meeting organised by the advisers in Birnin Kebbi on Saturday.

He said the gesture was with a view to making people self-reliant in the state.

Sani-Giant said: “This gesture is in consonance with the policy thrust of His Excellency, Gov. Nasir Idris directed towards collective leadership to mitigate the effects of present economic hardship faced by the people.

“It is also aimed at bringing succour to the people, reduce poverty, support many families as well as empower men and women to engage in commercial activities, especially during the Holy Month of Ramadan.”

Sani-Giant expressed delight over the decision and unity of purpose of the members in their support and loyalty to the Idris-led administration.

He assured the readiness of the advisers to extend unflinching support to Gov. Idris to enable him achieve good governance and uplift the general well-being of the people.

“I want to tell you with full confidence that the governor is proud of us, and he is watching with keen interest of what we are doing to support his developmental strides in the state.

“What we have set out to do is in line with his empowerment agenda, to reduce poverty and assist people, particularly the masses in the society,” he noted.

The chairman thanked the governor for affording the special advisers the opportunity to serve the people under his leadership.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the special advisers had constituted an 11 man member committee to determine the number, category of beneficiaries as well as amount to be disbursed to each person.

BREAKING: Ex-Chelsea Captain César Azpilicueta Announces Retirement From Football—-Spanish defender brings curtain down on trophy-laden career after spells with Chelsea, Atlético Madrid and Sevilla.

Former Chelsea FC captain César Azpilicueta has officially announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 36.

The Spanish defender confirmed that he will hang up his boots at the end of the season, bringing an end to a remarkable career that spanned nearly two decades.

He shared this news via his social media handles.

Azpilicueta enjoyed his most successful years at Chelsea after joining the club from Marseille in 2012. During his 11-year spell at Stamford Bridge, he made more than 500 appearances and became the first player in the club’s history to win every major trophy available.

As Chelsea captain, Azpilicueta famously lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2021 under Thomas Tuchel, adding to Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup triumphs during his time in London.

Following his departure from Chelsea in 2023, the veteran defender spent two seasons with Atlético Madrid before joining Sevilla FC for the final chapter of his career.

Azpilicueta also represented Spain at international level, earning 44 senior caps and featuring in multiple FIFA World Cups and European Championships.

In an emotional farewell message, the defender admitted it was difficult to make the decision but thanked supporters, teammates, coaches and clubs who shaped his journey in football.

Tributes have since poured in from fans and former teammates, with many describing Azpilicueta as one of Chelsea’s greatest modern-day captains and one of the most respected defenders of his generation.

BREAKING: Shock Omissions as Palmer and Alexander-Arnold Miss England World Cup Selection—-Ex-Chelsea Manager Thomas Tuchel makes bold selection calls ahead of tournament in North America.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has made several major selection decisions after leaving Cole Palmer and Trent Alexander-Arnold out of the Three Lions’ final squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The omissions have quickly sparked debate among fans and pundits, with both players considered among England’s biggest talents in recent years.

According to reports, Tuchel opted for balance, tactical flexibility, and current form when finalising his 26-man squad for the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Palmer’s exclusion comes despite the Chelsea star’s strong performances over the last two seasons, while Alexander-Arnold reportedly missed out due to tactical preferences and competition in defensive areas.

The squad announcement also saw several surprise inclusions, including Ivan Toney and Djed Spence, while experienced names such as Jordan Henderson earned recalls.

Other notable absentees include Harry Maguire and Phil Foden as Tuchel reshapes the squad ahead of England’s World Cup campaign.

England will head into the tournament hoping to end decades of hurt and finally lift the World Cup trophy for the first time since 1966.
