The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has been called upon to take prompt action on the settlement of stipend and fulfilment for its commitment regarding the sponsorship of trainees learning various entrepreneurship and skills acquisition programs at various training centers.
The Proprietor of AD-ESAC in Kano, Arc. Aminu Dabo, made this call in his goodwill message to the successful TVET Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 beneficiaries trainees of the Center who received starter equipment provided by the Federal Government to support them to start and develop sustainable employment towards self-reliance.
He emphasized that taking this expedient step, particularly on those in large numbers who are yet to receive starter kits after participating in the training program will go a long way in helping beneficiaries put the skills they have acquired into practical use and ensure the sustainable of the scheme effectively as desire by the government.
Arc. Aminu Dabo, however, commended the Federal Ministry of Education for the “TVET Initiative” aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and skills acquisition for “our youths to become productive and self-reliant”, urging youths to embrace the program wholeheartedly.
Malama Aina’u Mahmuod Hamid, Director of the Center who represented Arc Dabo, warned the trainees who benefited from the government magnanimity not to sell or mismanage the starter kits given to them, but rather to make best use of them to advance their respective trades they have learned and mastered in order to sustain their livelihoods independently.
In the meanwhile, and in their separate responses, some of the graduands who benefited from the program expressed extreme happiness for being part of this skills training opportunity introduced by the federal government and specifically appreciated the management and staff of AD-ESAC as well as of the Federal Ministry of Education for the successful distribution of starter kits to them.
The brief ceremony, a significant step towards helping these trainees put their newly acquired skills into practice, concluded with the distribution of starter kits, comprising sewing machines and startup toolkits to beneficiaries from tailoring and fashion design as well as solar installation/repairs departments.
