20 youths have completed a three-month skills training program organized by the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) Epe branch, as they showcased their work at an exhibition held at the Epe Local Government Secretariat.
The initiative provides hands-on training in various crafts and skills on fashion design. During the exhibition, facilitators guided the trainees (who will be graduating on 14th December, 2024) through practical exercises where they displayed impressive creations and received constructive feedback.
“This is a strategic effort to promote job creation, support small and medium enterprises, and contribute to nation-building,” Comrade Moibi said during the event’s opening remarks. He thanked the trainers and trainees for their commitment and enthusiasm.
Kuye Ifeoluwa, a secondary school student in SS1 and also a trainee, was recognized as the most punctual participant. Her dedication and passion throughout the program earned her praise from organizers and peers alike.
Mrs. Masun Sidikat shared her appreciation, saying, “The trainers hide nothing from us. They ensured everyone was carried along and treated us equally with love and respect.”
One of the facilitators, Mrs. Babalola Lateefat expressed gratitude to the organizers and advised the trainees to value their certificates. “This certificate is more than a piece of paper, it will open doors to greater opportunities,” she said.
