Usman Bn Fodiyo International School for Qur’an and General Studies, Sokoto, has trained 214 married women in various skills and trades.
The school was established in 2013 by the then Governor, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko.
The Chairman of the Management Committee of the School, Sheikh Sidi A. Sidi, said when he led other members of the committee and those of the Parents Teachers’ Association on a courtesy call on Wamakko yesterday that the women were trained in two batches, while 30 other women were currently undergoing a similar training.
A statement signed by the Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Senator, Bashir Rabe Mani, said the women were trained free of charge in cosmetics, tailoring, beads making, kitchenette, shoes and bag making, soap making and leather works, among others.
Responding, Senator Wamakko pledged to continue to assist the school to ensure its smooth operations.
