The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in the Federal Capital territory (FCT) has trained about 1300 corps members in various skills including cosmetology, agro-allied food processing, ICT and photography.
FCT NYSC Coordinator, Frank Ekpunobi, told journalists that the skills acquisition training is to prepare corps members to be self reliant, noting that the mere fact that the corps members have agreed to embark on the training shows their level of commitment.
He urged them to utilise the knowledge they have garnered to improve not only their lives but that of others, even as he said the scheme has concluded plans to establish a Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development centre at the Kubwa Orientation camp to ensure the continuity of the programme even after the orientation course.
The coordinator who stressed the importance of skills acquisition said NYSC had made provision for accommodation for the commencement of the centre.
During the event, telecommunications company, Airtel during the event donated sewing and weaving machines, foot spa, hair dryers and clippers to the management of the NYSC.
