200 Bauchi Women Benefit from Soft Skills Acquisition Training |
200 Bauchi women have benefited from a soft skills acquisition training programme, empowering rural communities with self-reliance and economic growth.
Empowering Women Through Soft Skills Training in Bauchi
In a major step towards boosting women’s economic independence, the Arewa Cohesion for Peace, Unity and Development Initiative (ACPUDI) has trained 200 Bauchi women in soft skills acquisition. The programme is designed to empower women in rural communities, equipping them with practical skills that foster self-reliance, peace, and sustainable development.
According to Alhaji Abdullahi Ibrahim Akuyam, the Bauchi State representative of ACPUDI, the initiative is crucial for communities in Northern Nigeria that have long suffered the consequences of insecurity and underdevelopment.
Why Soft Skills Training Matters in Northern Nigeria
The programme is divided into two batches of 100 participants each, targeting women in Bauchi Local Government Area. By empowering women with essential skills, the initiative seeks to:
- Promote self-reliance and reduce poverty.
- Enhance peace and unity in conflict-prone communities.
- Support sustainable economic growth in rural areas.
- Strengthen families and communities through women’s empowerment.
This approach aligns with Nigeria’s broader efforts to improve livelihoods in rural regions while addressing the social challenges caused by insecurity.
Skills Covered in the Bauchi Women Training Programme
During the two-week training, beneficiaries will learn a variety of income-generating skills, including:
- Air freshener and perfume production
- Liquid soap making
- Milk candy and local food processing (turn brown food)
- Household and ready-to-use food preparation
Each skill will be taught by experienced instructors who guide participants through practical, hands-on sessions. The training is structured to ensure women can immediately apply their new knowledge to support their families and communities.
Voices from the Programme
Speaking at the event, Sa’adatu Aminu Yahaya, the State Women Leader, commended the initiative as a neutral and inclusive project aimed at uplifting Northern women. She urged participants to use the skills gained not only for personal growth but also to positively impact others in their communities.
The initiative has partnered with Antanzil International School and Prestige International School, ensuring that the training is delivered with high standards and long-term sustainability in mind.
A Lasting Impact on Rural Women
The 200 Bauchi women soft skills training is more than just a short-term programme—it represents a movement towards sustainable empowerment in Northern Nigeria. By teaching women how to generate income, the initiative contributes to reducing unemployment, strengthening local economies, and promoting peace across Bauchi State.
