About 400 youths on Thursday graduated from the Federal Government's National Social Investment Programme (N-SIP) in the Northeast.

They were beneficiaries of N-Power non-graduate category.

Speaking during the ceremony in Yola, N-SIP’s National Coordinator, Professor Umar Bindir, expressed hope that the program target would be achieved.

“This is an initiative and innovations of President Muhammadu Buhari to see that you acquire the skills to be self reliant, successful in life and be employers of labour.

“I am happy to be with you today and encourage you to succeed in life by applying what you have learned in to practice,” he said.

Bindir advised the beneficiaries to also make use of the starter parks given and not to sale them out for any reason.

On her part, the N-SIP’s Focal Person in Adamawa, Mery Yuwadi, said that the beneficiaries were trained on life skills, entrepreneurship development, phone and laptop repairs.

She added that all were drawn from Adamawa, Borno, Bauchi, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe States and the training was successful.

Yuwadi also advised the beneficiaries to continue to learn more and put the skills in to practice not to go keep the tools or sold them.

According to NAN, some of the equipments in the starter parks include rework stations, digital multimeter, soldering paste, and soldering wire magnifying glass, among others.
