Third-Estate Trains 20 Graduates on Solar Energy, CCTV
installations
A leading socio-cultural group, Third-Estate of Ilorin Emirate
has sponsored a six-month training of over 20 graduates in
electrical, CCTV installations and solar power.
The beneficiaries were selected from five local government
areas of llorin emirate: Asa, Ilorin-East, Ilorin-West,
Ilorin-South and Moro.
Presenting certificates to the beneficiaries the president of
the group, Mallam Ahmad Bolaji-Nagode, said the Third Estate
embarked on the programme to discourage unemployed graduates from
seeking white-collar jobs.
Bolaji-Nagode, represented by the Publicity Secretary, Mallam
Yushau Abdulhameed Agaka, said the beneficiaries would contribute
to providing alternatives to the epileptic power supply in their
communities.
He advised youths in Ilorin emirate to embrace technology as a
means to reduce the unemployment rate in the country.
The Third Estate president said technology had proven to be a
huge sector with lots of opportunities waiting to be grabbed,
advising Nigerian youths to see it as a lucrative career path.
“Technology is the best knowledge the youth needed to tap into
and I urged the participants to use knowledge acquired during the
training to tackle issues around them,” he said.
Bolaji-Nagode said that the training had become necessary as
part of the efforts of the group to complement the Kwara
government’s effort at reducing the poverty level and unemployment
in the state.
A former Commissioner for Education in the state, Alhaji Raji
Muhammed, called on the beneficiaries to make use of what they
learned during the six-month intensive training to change their
lives for the better.
Muhammed advised them to always allow honesty, perseverance,
diligence and good moral conduct be their guiding principles while
discharging their duties.
Speaking on behalf of the participants, Malam Saad Bolaji,
commended the organisers for the gesture and prayed Allah to bless
them more.
He said the knowledge they have acquired had turned them to job
creators, rather than job seekers (NSN).
