The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Agency for Mass Education in collaboration with UNESCO has concluded plans to train over 50, 000 women in the Federal Capital Territory and Rivers State in literacy and skills acquisition.
The Director of the agency, Alhaji Musa Yakubu, who made this known at the weekend in Abuja said the training would start by June and last for three years.
“They will teach them on how to read and write through the ICT. 20,000 women will be trained in the first year, 10, 000 for FCT and 10, 000 for Rivers,” he said. “They will not only be taught how to read and write, they will also be taught some basic skills such as catering services, tailoring and soap making, among others.’’
Alhaji Yakubu added that the agency would create awareness, provide facilitators and arrange for the venue of the programme while UNESCO would provide instructional materials.
