The Nasru-Lahi-l-Fatih Society (NASFAT) has commenced a three-month free Information Technology (IT) Certification Examination training for 134 youths.
This is to ensure that the youths are equipped with the skills to tap into the opportunities in the growing IT industry.
The youths who scaled through the screening exercise out of 200 applicants are participating in the first batch of the hands-on-training which has entered its third week.
The free training is a collaborative effort of the Education, Youth and Empowerment Committees whose secretaries are, Dr Rahmat Adisa and Alhaji Saka, and the Mission Board of the society.
The Chief Missioner of NASFAT, Imam Abdul-Azeez Onike, who disclosed this explained that the organisation is committed to ensuring that the youth have access to empowerment opportunities.
He said, “NASFAT as a society is poised to achieve the mission of ensuring that our youths and others have access to economic empowerment opportunities, having achieved relative success in the area of widows’ empowerment as hundreds of widows in NASFAT, especially at the headquarters, have been financially empowered”.
According to Onike, immediately after the ICT training, another training on youth entrepreneurship would be conducted in March 2021 with the support of philanthropists.
The National Youth Secretary, Mr. Kabir Raji, stated that the importance of the training can be seen in the number of youths that have acquired various technical knowledge under the health, education, livelihood and da’wah (HELD) policy of NASFAT.
He said the beneficiaries are now contributing positively to the society.
