The Best Premium Skill Acquisition Centre, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) has graduated 56 students in various vocational skills.

The Coordinator of the Institute, Zainab Atima pointed out that the skills so acquired from the Institute could go a long way in liberating the trainees from the economic hardship Nigeria is currently experiencing.

She said the learning of entrepreneurial skills has the capacity to empower the people to outlive the recession.

The coordinator called on the state government and other stakeholders to partner with the institute in order to make Kogi state a hub of industrial products.

She urged the people as well as the stakeholders to key into the vision and good intention of the institute.

“We started this as a cooperative society. Some of us like minds came together and decided on what we can do to touch individuals, helpless young girls and women who don’t have any source of livelihood.

“We pulled our resources together and brough resource persons to impact skills on people in the areas of agriculture (poultry and fish farming), cosmetics, shoe making, paint making, photography, food processing, soap making and others”, she disclosed

Expressing the readiness of the institute to alleviate the suffering of Kogi people and beyond, the Coordinator said the physically challenged students are trained free and integrated into the society to contribute their quota in the economic development of the state.
