Twenty (20) youths and women entrepreneurs have concluded a three-day extensive training on Batiking, tieing and dyeing fabrics in Adamawa State.

She therefore, charged the participants to use the knowledge acquired judiciously by setting up their own businesses to transfer the skills to others in their various societies.

“Gone were the days when people depend on white collar-jobs, even the developed countries, like Singapore witnessed rapid developmental transformation when its government engaged the young people in skills acquisition programmes.

“Our decision to embark on the project was borne out the love for the constituents in the Southern senatorial zone which was supported by Senator Yaroe Binos.

“I also encourage us as the younger generation to engage in entrepreneurship and pursue academic knowledge so that we can be in tune with changing times.
