In a statement, the organisations explained that the skills foundation had been working in the FCT and 15 other states over the years, and that the foundation concentrated more on the North West because of the challenges in that part.

According to the bridge programme officer, Charles Jang, the training of teachers would enable students to be adequately prepared academically and be self-reliant.
