A Non-Government Organisation (NGO) known as Immson Furniture Palace based in Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has trained eight youths on skills acquisition in the area.
The Chief Executive Officer in charge of Immson Furniture Palace, Mr Ibrahim Tijani Adekola, who disclosed this in an interview with Peoples Daily Correspondent during the graduation ceremony of the youths on Saturday in Gwagwalada, pleaded with the government of the day to assist the Non-Governmental Organisations in Nigeria.
He also appealed to the government at all levels to carry the NGOs along in the scheme of things, noting that NGOs had contributed a lot in the society in terms of empowering the less privileged ones.
Adeloka, therefore, advised the graduands to make use of the knowledge they have acquired to better the society and charged them to be sincere to the people at all times.
On his part, the Chief of Trades in Gwagwalada, Mr Idris Mohammed appealed to the FCT Minister, Mr. Nyesom Wike to allocate pilots of land to the Non-Government Organisations to enable the Chief Executive Officers to have a permanent site for the training of the less privileged ones in the society.
Idris Mohammed, however, called on the traditional rulers irrespective of their status to send their wards to the skills acquisition centres to learn trades of their choices.
