No fewer than 222 residents including women and youths have acquired vocational skills in Edo State.
They were selected from Edo south senatorial district.
The training was facilitated by Matthew Urhoghide, Senator representing Edo South senatorial district at the National Assembly, as part of his effort to improve the livelihoods of unemployed individuals.
The beneficiaries will be supported with starter kits to commence their respective businesses with the support of the federal ministry of works and Housing and the Cross River Basin Development Authority.
Addressing journalist at the training session in Benin City, the senator, who is the chairman senate committee on public accounts, said he has so far upgraded the skills and empowered over 7,000 persons across the seven Local Government Areas that make up the senatorial district in the state.
