Beneficiaries of the just
concluded one-month vocational training held in Woji Community have been charged to put their acquired knowledge to use.
The paramount ruler of Woji Community, Eze Emeka Ihunwo gave the charge during an event to mark the end of the one-month long vocational training skills acquisition.
The training was organised by the Rotary Club of Trans Amadi, District 9140, for indigenes and non-indigenes of Woji Community.
Addressing newsmen shortly after the closing ceremony of the training, Eze Ihunwo thanked the organisers for the initiative.
He also encouraged the participants to train others through the skills that they had acquired.
“They should not let what they have learnt today, which they have showcased, die.
“Training some other person is another way of impacting on the livelihood of others” he said.
Some of the skills that were acquired included, hat making, sewing, making of liquid antiseptic, soap making and cookery, amongst others.
While hailing the beneficiaries he further urged them to strive to keep the knowledge acquired alive as government alone could not employ everyone in the society.
“We are grateful, they should not let it die, government cannot come to help everybody at the same time,” he said.
The Tide reports that the participants displayed their newly acquired skills on Tuesday during the closing ceremony.
Some of them thanked the Rotary Club of Trans Amadi District 9140 for the gesture, promising to use the newly acquired skills to set up business of their own.
They also expressed the hope of becoming employers of labour within their means.
