📍 Kasuwar Tsaye, The Digital Engine of Northern Nigeria’s Informal Economy
Spent time today at Kasuwar Tsaye, and it left me inspired. This isn’t just a market, it’s a grassroots tech hub where over 3,000 young people power digital access across the region.
🔧 What makes it special
From tiny cubicles, young men fix, sell, and resell phones and laptops. Some of these devices travel as far as Niger Republic. It’s innovation in its rawest form.
🗣️ What they asked for
Financial support for members who’ve dropped out of business,
A proper permanent site,
Solar-powered lights for safety,
Computers and printers for the market’s admin work.
🤝 What I promised
A KATDICT team will assess the market and design a tailored support plan,
I’ll personally take their requests to Governor Radda,
We’ll provide solar lights immediately,
And we’ll equip their secretariat with office tools they need.
🏅 I also recognized 8 outstanding individuals
From the unofficial chief security officer to those who step up in times of crisis, their dedication is what keeps this market strong.
💡 Why this matters
Kasuwar Tsaye is not just a market, it’s a launchpad for thousands of young people. If we want real digital transformation, we must build it from the ground up.
Proud of this engagement, hopeful for what’s next.

@A_Y_Rafindadi The governor issued a clear directive that all Hakimai must participate in the Eid durbar, with clear consequences for non-compliance. Despite this, some failed to adhere to the directive. The governor simply seeks an explanation for their non-compliance, nothing more..
I also spoke and encouraged them on the importance of taking advantage of the new career services center of the university and pointed out that with proper guidance and counseling, students will have careers that better suit them.
Being the guest of honor and the chief launcher of the new Career Services Center built at Federal University of Dutsinma, Katsina, I spoke to the students about the need for choosing careers they are passionate about.
