A youth-led political movement, the 52-Youth Coalition has commended the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Kwara State, Engr. Kale Kawu, for unveiling his manifesto, describing it as a clear demonstration of policy-driven leadership that places ordinary Kwarans at the centre of governance.

In a statement by its media unit, the Coalition particularly welcomed Kawu’s proposal to establish a N100 billion Security Trust Fund to support intelligence-led operations, strengthen community partnerships, provide security equipment and improve coordination among security agencies.

It also hailed his proposed introduction of a 13th-month salary for workers and a N4 billion provision for special monthly hardship allowances for teachers serving in underserved, rural and hard-to-reach communities.

The Coalition further welcomed the candidate’s pledge to allocate N50 million to each of Kwara’s 193 wards within the first 100 days of his administration to facilitate grassroots development and proposed N9.6 billion revolving loan scheme for market traders and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), with single-digit interest rates.
