The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) has empowered no fewer than 100 women in Bida, Niger State, with various equipment to begin business.
Acting Director-General of the NDE, Mr. Kunle Obayan, who jointly presented the items with the Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar, yesterday, at the Etsu’s Square, Bida, disclosed that 3,900 women have so far benefitted from the agency’ Women Employment Branch (WEB).
The NDE boss stated that the programme, in collaboration with the Bida Emirate Council, trained women in cosmetics production, knitting and tomato processing and preservation.
“I am proud to say that these women have diligently acquired the relevant knowledge and skills required to start their own business, in line with the acquired vocations,” Obayan said.
He urged them to not only become self-employed and self-reliant but also employers of labour, who contribute to the wellbeing of their immediate families and society at large.
