<p>“The objective of this project is to establish competent artisans who, would in turn, become self-employed and further create wealth and reduce poverty.</p>

<p>Represented by Kano State NDE Coordinator, Alhaji Inuwa Adamu, Fikpo added that the organisation was desirous to engage more unemployed youths in skill acquisition training programmes.</p>
<p>Fikpo expressed optimism that such training programmes would enable the youth to set up their own businesses.</p>
<p>The director general said that the 18 beneficiaries had been trained in tailoring, leather works and GSM repairs.</p>
<p>The Head of Department, Vocational Skill Development, Malam Balarabe Danjuma, said the training was meant to make the beneficiaries become self-reliant and job providers instead of job seekers.</p>
<p>Danjuma enjoined the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the equipment and become self-reliant.</p>
<p>Some of the beneficiaries, who commended NDE for giving them the opportunity, promised to share the knowledge with others and make good use of the equipment.</p>
