Corps, Joy Alkali rounding up a training session shortly before the graduation ceremony in Jalingo on Tuesday
A serving member of the National Youth Service Corps, Joy Alkali, has trained and empowered 1,102 students and women in Taraba State through vocational skills acquisition, literacy and Computer-Based Test training, as part of her Community Development Service project.
Alkali also donated school uniforms to 30 students of Government Day Secondary School, Howai, in Jalingo to support access to education.
The project, implemented under her Better Tomorrow Initiative, was inaugurated on Tuesday after three months of a “Learning to Read” literacy programme and a week-long training in baking, pastry and confectionery.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony, Alkali said the initiative was designed to equip women and young people with practical, income-generating skills that would enhance their livelihoods, promote self-reliance and contribute to community development.
