Nura Abdullahi
Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has called for the repositioning of Home Economics education as a strategic tool for innovation, entrepreneurship, job creation and sustainable development in Nigeria.
KANO FOCUS reports that the governor made the call at the opening of the 52nd Annual National Conference and Workshop of the Home Economics Teachers Association of Nigeria (HETAN), held in Kano.
In a statement issued by Chief Press Secretary to the Secretary to the State Government Musa Tanko the governor, said the conference theme, “Repositioning Home Economics Education for Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development in Nigeria,” was timely and aligned with the country’s aspiration to build a skilled, self-reliant and economically empowered population.
The governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Umar Faruk Ibrahim, said Home Economics had evolved beyond traditional household management to encompass food and nutrition, fashion, textiles, hospitality, family resource management and entrepreneurship.
Yusuf urged stakeholders to reposition the discipline from being viewed merely as an academic subject to a practical platform for skills development, innovation, enterprise and wealth creation.
He stressed that graduates should be equipped not only to seek employment but also to create jobs.
The governor also called for the integration of digital technology, artificial intelligence, e-commerce and modern production techniques into Home Economics education.
According to him, technical skills must be complemented with entrepreneurship, branding, financial management, digital marketing and access to markets to enable graduates turn their knowledge into viable businesses.
He urged HETAN to strengthen collaboration among educational institutions, industries, financial institutions, government agencies and development partners to provide modern equipment, practical training, mentorship, internships and opportunities for young people.
On environmental sustainability, Yusuf said Home Economics could provide practical solutions to challenges such as food waste, environmental degradation, rising household costs and climate change.
He identified responsible consumption, recycling, energy conservation, sustainable food practices and environmentally friendly production as areas where the discipline could contribute to sustainable development.
The governor also called for urgent and collective action against drug addiction among young people, describing the menace as a serious threat to the nation’s future.
He said the challenge required coordinated efforts involving government, families, schools and society.
Yusuf reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to initiatives promoting skills acquisition, employability, entrepreneurship and innovation.
He noted that Kano’s longstanding traditions of commerce, craftsmanship, textile production, tailoring and food processing provided a strong foundation for linking education with modern enterprise and technology.
He charged participants to go beyond adopting resolutions and develop practical strategies capable of producing measurable impacts in schools, communities and the wider Nigerian economy.
Earlier, the National President of HETAN, Mrs Onothoja Evelyn, commended the Kano State Government for providing a hospitable environment for participants from across the country.
She said HETAN had grown beyond an association focused solely on teaching Home Economics, noting its relevance to hospitality, healthcare, fashion, food and beverages, entrepreneurship and the general wellbeing of society.
Evelyn said the conference theme and sub-themes were selected to address contemporary challenges, proffer solutions and contribute to policy formulation suited to Nigeria’s peculiar needs.
The conference also featured a welcome address by the Chairperson of HETAN, Kano Chapter, Hajiya Halima Abubakar.
Among dignitaries at the event were the Accountant General of Kano State, Hajiya Jamila Magaji Abdullahi, who represented the First Lady of Kano State; the Permanent Secretary, Kano Educational Resource Department, Hajiya Rabi Inuwa Hussain; Dr Zainab Shehu Hussain; and HETAN executives from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
The conference is expected to strengthen professional collaboration and generate practical ideas for repositioning Home Economics education as a catalyst for skills development, entrepreneurship, job creation, improved livelihoods and sustainable national development.
