 A 7-core member in Eru LCDA Lagos has empowered 40 youth in her skill acquisition program. The areas of focus were fashion designing, hairdressing, babing, makeup arts and the like. It was a weak training for the participants, plus TV Africa's correspondent Destiny Momo has more. Economic realities and the challenges of the work world now demand more than academic knowledge. Our teaming unemployed youth can certainly change their fortunes with marketable skills. Perhaps this was the motivation for Janice Acobaro, a 7-core member in Lagos, to embark on skill acquisition training for youth as her personal project. In all, 40 participants were taking through different trainings for a week. I'm so honoured that I can actually make this great impact into the lives of my fellow youths. At this graduation ceremony, beneficiaries were grateful for knowledge received in skill acquisition. I would say a big thank you to Janice Acobaro for all the good things she has been doing for us. I'm so happy for this training since right from the day one of these acquisitions came. The NYS estate coordinator and others were impressed by this move from a 7-core member. It is what you have learnt here. Are you imparting yourself? Are you working out for yourself? These days there's no one corner. These are the things that are ascending. I recognise Miss Janice Acobaro and her alumnus of the college. She graduated in the Department of Food Technology and currently serving as National Administration. Joy that we are witnessing these epoch-making events, which is coming from an art that considers the needs of people in the society. Janice Acobaro and other facilitators spoke on the re-importance of this journey and her personal gain in acquiring a skill so early in life. When I was in Yaba Tech, I was also using my skill to make money for myself. Putting all my best to do the make-up. I didn't only do the make-up, I introduced them to products and also taught them how to tie gale perfectly. After I finished teaching this person right out her styling, she taught other students. I went to Oniru Community and I also went to Bonicamp. That was where I was able to meet them and then I spoke to them about this project. And they were so interested. In fact, a lot of them were not even in school. Some were actually dropouts, that's what I mean. And then some actually came from the nuts. Invariably, these beneficiaries have been set on a path to self-reliance. Hopefully, they'll continue to hone these skills to carve a niche for themselves in their future endeavors. Destiny Momo.
