 Women in Millennium City in Kaduna state have called on the state government to establish skill acquisition centres to enable them to deal with the harsh economic realities. The women embarked on a peaceful protest holding various placards saying the government should empower them. The women also appealed to the government to establish a skill acquisition centre to enable them to acquire requisite skills that will better their lives and provide a school for their children. And the other thing that we want is a skill acquisition so that we can feed ourselves. At least if we have hand work, we'll be able to feed ourselves and our children. And thirdly, there's no school. Our children are not going to school. And the primary school that is close to this place is not close. It's far. If you want to do transport at least in a day, you spend like 150 going and come back 300. So before the child, now come back to school for the child. Like me, look at my baby. My husband is not working and I'm the one that is feeding myself, feeding my baby and my little sister. We are really hungry and she's not even going to school because I cannot afford her school fees. So we need help. Please, government should come to help us. Crying out to the state government, please come to our assistance. We are besopering. We have so many widows. Most of us, the food that we eat, we don't have food. So we want the government to assist us. We want the government to know that we are suffering in this area. So we need assistance from the government. They are not working. Most of the liability is on the women. So that is all. We just come outside to cry out. We have been going out for voting. We have been voting and we have been hearing that the government has been assisting other people in other places. But we've never benefitted anything from the state government. It's good that they are going in Angarimi. Sometimes if we have transport, we give them. Sometimes they don't even go. The children. The private school we have here, none of us can afford to pay the school fees. That's the fact that the school fees is not seen to write home about. But most of us cannot afford it. We're here. We're hungry. They fire us with our children. Our husbands don't get work to do. Hungry. No transport for girls.
