No fewer than 40,000 youths are expected to benefit from a skill empowerment programme put in place by the Senate President, Mr Bukola Saraki.

At the launch of the scheme on Sunday in Ilorin, Kwara State, Mr Saraki said he was moved to do this as his own way to helping the government tackle unemployment problem in the country.

According to the Senate President, the initiative tagged ‘Skill Acquisition, Training and Empowerment Programme (STEP)’, will ensure 40,000 youths are trained in the next four years “with advanced skills that will focus on computer engineering, software development, animation, cinematography, agriculture and other areas that can boost self-employment.”

At the launching of the programme, the Senate President explained that the goal of STEP was to make participants globally competitive in the sectors for which they will be trained.

Also speaking at the occasion, National President of Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU), Alhaji AbdulHameed Adi, praised Mr Saraki for the laudable scheme and urged other public office holders to emulate the Senate President.

He said if others do like the Senate President, the society would be a better place.

Meanwhile, Mr Saraki has expressed optimism that STEP would go a long way to empower youths in Kwara State and Nigeria at large.

don't you know that you can also use Abu's money to buy Abu Gun, let's criticize when need be and praise when need been. Don't always do the Wright thing the wrong way.

when is the training starting ?

Even if he's doing this with the money he looted, i commed him on this.

If you take a look at the course outline, you would know they are high standard courses NOT all those cheap skill acquisitions out there......

How many of those who looted has given back to the society

ANOTHER SCAM FAA.
SARAKI MY SMART NIGGA FAA.

If he that is being deceived does not know, he that is deceiving people of course know that he is deceiving people.
But no matter how long lies might have being running, truthfulness will surely catch up with him one day.
