\n The National Commission for Refugees Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI) says it will build skills acquisition centres in the six geopolitical zones of the country.<\/p>\n
The Federal Commissioner in the organisation, Alhaji Tijani Ahmed, stated this on Wednesday in Abuja, at a two-week Training and Empowerment of IDPs Youths in professional Driving and Agriculture.<\/p>\n
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the training was organised by the commission in collaboration with a non-governmental organisation, St. Pukat Foundation.<\/p>\n
He said the idea of the empowerment programme was to provide durable skills to the persons of concern with the aim of making them self-reliant.<\/p>\n
‘The commission is saddled with the mandate to provide, protect and assist all persons of concern including refugees, Migrants, IDPs, asylum seekers, Stateless Persons and Returnees,’ he said.<\/p>\n
He said to deliver effective and sustainable protection to persons of concern, government and civil society must be fully involved.<\/p>\n
‘Th
\nis in-house training will not only make the beneficiaries self-reliant, but also uphold the durable solutions mandate of the commission,’ the commissioner said.<\/p>\n
He further implored the beneficiaries to use the opportunity to increase their skills for their livelihood.<\/p>\n
Ahmed also expressed appreciation to the foundation’s leadership for prioritising IDPs assistance, in their empowerment programme.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the President of the foundation, Mr Samuel Pukat, said the beneficiaries would be trained in professional driving skills and agriculture production.<\/p>\n
According to him, the agriculture production includes cassava, wheat and corn as well as rice cultivation.<\/p>\n
He added that the training would help IDPs to be employable considering their level of education.<\/p>\n
‘When you train them in professional driving they can be recruited in any public or private organisation,’ he said.<\/p>\n
He also commended the commission’s leadership for supporting persons of concern nationwide.<\/p>\n
