Aisha Buhari presents certificates to 500 youths in Kano

Another batch of 500 youths have graduated from Future Assured Empowerment programme in Kano. They were issued certificates of completion on Monday at a ceremony attended by wife of the President and Founder, Future Assured, Mrs. Aisha Muhammadu Buhari

The youths received training in paint making, leather work, barbing and manicure, rabbitry and fishery.

Speaking at the occasion, Mrs. Buhari charged the graduands to utilize the skills they have acquired to improve their lives and build businesses that will not only engage them but enable them to employ others. She called on philanthropic Nigerians to support them with start-up funds.

Speaking earlier, wife of the Governor of Kano state, Dr. Hafsatu Abdullahi Umar Ganduje expressed appreciation to Mrs. Buhari for the interest she and the President have shown in Kano state, saying that 12 days after the working visit by the President, his wife too had come to add value to the people of Kano. She recalled the 2200 women that received training a few months ago from Future Assured, saying that for most of them, their Future is indeed now assured.

Highlight of the event was an exhibition of the handiwork of the graduants, which the wife of the President inspected.

Mrs. Buhari also commissioned a Future Assured Women and Youth Empowerment Center, where trainings like the one just completed will subsequently be held in the state.
