Kaduna State Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai has set up a joint committee with the Nigerian American Chambers of Commerce to boost trade, investment and create job opportunities.The committee, which is expected to have five members from each of the partners, is headed by Deputy Governor Bala Barnabas Bantex.

It is expected to come out with a blueprint by September on the projects proposed by the chambers, such as power generation, setting up of hatchery, providing 500 hectares at the Millennium City for Kaduna American School and rebuilding the Zaria and Kafanchan markets.

Addressing a delegation of the Nigerian American Chambers of Commerce led on a visit to Sir Kashim Ibrahim House by its President, Mr. Sheriff Balogun, El-Rufai lamented that there were over three million unemployed youths in the state, adding that the high number of unemployed youths in the country led to insurgency and other problems.

He has announced the appointment of Mrs. Alisabatu Dada-Onazi as the new Head of Service.

El-Rufai made the announcement yesterday at a civic reception organised in honour of his deputy, Mr. Barnabas Bala-Bantex, in Kafanchan.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that before her appointment, the new head of service was the permanent secretary in the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. NAN
