 The 38th Commandant of the Niger Armed Forces Resettlement Center, Osho De Lagos, a Vice-Marshal at the Kamso Lobo, has called for a better welfare for a tiring military personnel. Lobo emphasised on the need to help them integrate with ease into the civil world. Plastic Africa's defense correspondent, Destiny Momo, in this report, takes a look at the deliverables of the center. This neatly maintained skill acquisition center, housing 42 workshops, is open for retirees to choose to be trained in. These skills range from agricultural, water production, fashion design, information technology, jewellery upgrading, livestock farming, to various other profitable skills for the benefit of retirees. During the three months training, retirees can decide to choose two kinds of skill acquisition to lend from. The 38th Commandant of the Center, Vice-Marshal Edie Gamso Lobo, speaks on the journey so far in his tenure. Anyone can aspire or desire to be part of, and it involves sacrifice of not just body and self or sometimes our lives. We might have to pay the supreme price. It's a very painful experience for you to see your colleagues that you just saw now going airborne and not coming back or an officer that you have tax to embark on an operation and not return. This is the concern of a military commander, but because of the nature of what we do, that is the continuity. It's a sacrifice for Fatherland and I joined all families that are bereaved of their breadwinners in the course of the conflicts that we are faced with within the country and outside the country where we have our soldiers serving to share with them the pain of having to lose a father or a brother. But I tell you that it is service that has been instituted by God and from creation it has been so. Sacrifice is not in vain. I believe that the military hierarchy has in place aspects of wealthier schemes to cater for the needs of wives and children in the absence of our loved ones. And for those of us that have retired, I think there is some certain level of improvement in our entire treatments as we are living in the service. This came during this regime of the present government under the watchful eyes of President Mohammad Ibrahim and we are grateful to be the CMC. One of the trainers takes us through the processes of training and the skills and value it brings to the retirees. The water factory is one of the workshops in Nafric. Nafric is mainly a skilled acquisition centre that is designed to train the land of the emphasis that has served their Fatherland for 35 years. So after the service, we try to give them skills that they can use to empower themselves. It's a kind of empowerment programme. So this is one of the workshops where we take you through the skills acquisition. We train you on production of water, how to sell the water, how to market the water. And it takes just about three months to acquire the skills because we make you go through the process and some process of repairing of your machine and you go on marketing also. So it gives you a full package of what you expect out there when you are producing the water. The challenges you come about, what your workers are going to do to you because you see where they work, how they try to manoeuvre, how they try to work. So it gives you a picture of how you see how they will go out there. And this trainer is learning how to produce Sashi and bottled water in large quantities. She is excited about the near-ended benefits once she rounds up the programme. I've gained a lot coming to Nafric as an inexperienced, somebody that have no knowledge about water factory, only drinking it at home or on the street. But coming to this place, we are made to know the quality of a good water. Then we will train how to manage, to start the business, to manage the business. After retirement, you can always get something to fall back on and how to market it, to get a good market, all what it entails. Like the nooks and the clunning of the business, the rudiments of the business were being taught here. So not that when you go outside, the hunky-punky, maybe your staff want to play everything as a student here you learn. This is the last phase of their regimented lives. Acquiring these skills is equal to ease into civil knives. That's the name for Plus TV Africa.
