Beneficiaries from all 44 local government areas received three goats each to support their involvement in livestock entrepreneurship.

He also revealed that upcoming phases of the programme would include the distribution of 1,342 cows and 1,822 rams to women and youth. Dawakin-Tofa stressed the importance of accountability, urging the beneficiaries to use the livestock for its intended purpose.
