Programme Overview
The programme seeks to establish a comprehensive and reliable database of unemployed individuals across the 44 Local Governments of the State in order to support evidence-based planning, facilitate access to empowerment programmes, and connect qualified individuals with available employment opportunities in both the public and private sectors.
KASUDA will also serve as a strategic platform to support the effective implementation of Federal Character opportunities and other vacancies allocated to Kano State in federal ministries, departments, agencies, national institutions, as well as private and commercial organizations operating within the state.
Important Notice
It is important to note that registration in the KASUDA database does not constitute a guarantee of employment. Rather, the programme is designed to facilitate opportunities by linking qualified individuals with available vacancies, training programmes, and empowerment initiatives as they arise.
