Bauchi To Train 900 Women On New Trade

Bauchi State is set to train 900 women across the 20 local government areas in new trades to make them self reliant.

Hajiya Asabe Hamma, the Commissioner for Women Affairs in the State, said that the training would be in new “marketable trades” that would require small amounts as capital. She added that the number of participants would be based on the size and population of each local government.

Hamma said that women development officers at the local government levels would be charged with the responsibility of selecting those to be trained.

“The ministry will train 900 women in new trades different from the ones we have been training our women in.

“This will provide them with the opportunity to meet up in other trades that are marketable with small amount of capital.

“The trades includes duvet and bed sheet making, poultry, animal fattening, catering as well as beautification and make up business,’’ she said.

She said that the training would be conducted in 11 centers across the state.
