Stephen Olufemi Oni, Ilorin
The Commissioner for Women Affairs, Chief (Mrs) Opeyemi Oluwakemi Afolashade has commended the Royal Heritage Health Foundation (RHHF) for the successful completion of its 14-day Vocational Skills Acquisition and Empowerment Training for 20 vulnerable people, noting that the technical support by the organisation showed its commitment to the well-being of the less privileged people in the society.
The Commissioner gave the commendation at the end of the training held at the Adolescent Friendly Center Facility, Kwara State University Teaching Hospital, Ilorin.
The Commissioner stated that the recovery process of survivors goes beyond immediate care and protection to include economic empowerment, skills acquisition and providing opportunities that would enable the beneficiaries to become independent and productive members of the society, adding that “the training represents an important step towards turning vulnerability into strength and creating a pathway to sustainable livelihoods”.
Chief (Mrs) Afolashade encouraged the participants to put the skills acquired into productive use and embrace every opportunity available to them to achieve their goals.
The Coordinator for the Royal Heritage Health Foundation (RHHF), Dr Omotayo Oyerinde, said the training was meant to impact the lives of survivors and provide them with the skills needed to overcome life’s challenges.
The participants appreciated the RHHF for the training and pledged to continue to utilize the skills acquired for the betterment of their lives and development of the society.
