Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has advised the federal government to embark on more empowerment programmes that will better the lives of Nigerians.
NSCDC Commandant in Oyo State, Mr Micheal Adaralewa gave the advice during the grand finale of a 3-day workshop organised by the Oyo State Branch of Civil Defence Officers Wives’ Association, CDOWA.
Mr Adaralewa said though, the government was facilitating numerous training programmes for the people, more still needed to be done, especially as the nation was facing an economic meltdown to open different sources of income to the people.
He noted that the Batik and Adire making vocational training organised by CDOWA would go a long way in lifting their financial status.
The NSCDC boss stated further that, regular vocational training would discourage over-dependence on white-collar jobs.
The Chairperson of CDOWA who is also the wife of the NSCDC Commandant in Oyo State, Mrs. Florence Adaralewa said the workshop became imperative to assist women in order not to become a liability to their husbands and society at large.
Mrs. Adaralewa said CDOWA was established with the mission of helping its members to give support to their husbands to enhance their efficiency in discharging their duty.
She, therefore, urged the participants to ensure proper use of the knowledge they acquired during the training.
Contributing, Commissioner of Women Affairs, Community Development and Social Inclusion, Alhaja Kafilat Olayiwola said women should always see themselves as mothers of the nation.
Alhaja Olayiwola who spoke through the Deputy Director, Women Program Department, Mrs. Ibeyin Abeo urged the participants to endeavour to share the knowledge they acquired with others.
