TEA project Director, Mr Waziri Salum told reporters that the money provided worth the trainings that have been offered to youth.
“We are glad the money has been well utilized, the youth have been capacitated with knowledge that will help them to record changes,” he said.
The money has been provided by the World Bank and the government through TEA. The trainings were conducted for the period of six weeks.
