In a bid to ensure that Fulani women in Nasarawa state do not engage themselves in any form of crimes and to make them self-reliant, the Fulbe Development and Culture Organisation, has trained no fewer than 118 of them.
The organisation’s acting chairman in the state, Halilu Yahaya, disclosed this while speaking with journalists on Sunday in Keffi after the training programme which lasted four months.
He explained that the organisation came up with the plan to train the women on various skills in order for them to be financially stable, citing joblessness as a major cause of insecurity in the country.
He said, “The reason for this programme is to ensure that the 118 Fulani women who were selected from across the 13 LGAs of the state, have skills that can help put food on their tables and I believe that if they have something doing, they will not engage in crime because joblessness is a major reason for insecurity in Nigeria.”
