Jigawa State government has reiterated its commitment to support women entrepreneurship, especially in hard-to-access areas of the state.
The state Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Ladi Dansure, gave the assurance during the graduation of 53 girls trained in fashion design and tailoring services.
Hajiya Dansure said the beneficiaries were selected from local government areas across the state to become self-reliant.
She commended the effort of Women for Health, a non-governmental organisation, for its support in the training and provision of sewing machines to the beneficiaries, and urged them to make good use of what they were given and as well train others.
Also speaking, the state Team Leader of Women for Health, Mr. Robert Bature, said the beneficiaries were those not able to get admission into the School of Health Technology and Midwifery of the state due to deficiency in their results.
Bature explained that the organisation focussed on girls’ education, especially health education and assured of his organisation’s support to empower women in the state.
