So, i put together a formidable team under a charity organisation and we started this noble project, which has to do with training and development of the youth and women in ICT, Agriculture that has to do with fishery and poultry and Culinary.

“In batch A, we are glad to have trained 1000 persons in seven culinary schools, IT Schoold snd Agriculture in our different training centres in Abuja.
