In continuation of its efforts in the fight against unemployment and Youth restiveness, Khadimiya For Justice and Development Initiative graduated another set of Youths with different skills in Argungu.
The Honourable Attorney General of the federation, Alhaji Abubakar Malami, SAN, said he placed a premium on job creation, considering its role in making Youths self-reliant.
The Minister who the Chairman National Agency represented for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons Abubakar Usman, said, from inception, Khadimiyya Foundation has successfully trained more than two thousand youths on different skills across the state and will continue to accord priority attention to wealth creation through its various interventions on youths empowerments.
Abubakar Malami, while congratulating the graduands, urged them to put what they learnt to use to benefit themselves and society.
He said Federal Government would continue to formulate policies and programmes aimed at checkmating the prevalence of banditry activities and insecurity in some parts of the country.

according to him, they informed their decision to lift some of these youths out of poverty by equipping them with different skills.
