The All Progressives Congress Volunteers Group (APCVG) has organized a three week vocational training programme for its members.
About 100 members of the party were trained in hairdressing, fashion designing, chemical and farming among many other skills.
The graduands were presented with certificate of training at an event which was held at Hasbunallahu School in Igbogbo, after three weeks of intensive training recently.
Alhaji Lateef Akinbode, Chairman, APCVG, Lagos State, stated that the group is a baby of the ruling party which is poised to contribute to the progress of the party.
He stated that the three week training was organized to make members self reliant.
Alhaji Benson Akinwunmi, Chairman of the occasion, speaking at the ceremony, enjoined the graduands to make good use of what they have been trained for.
He added that the skills acquired, if put into good use, can make them prominent people in the society.
During the ceremony, different sections of the skill acquisition programmes were called to make open presentations of what they have acquired.
One of the graduands, Emmanuel Towolara, said, “I have learnt a lot and I am very grateful to God. I appreciate the effort of the All Progressives Congress Volunteers in Lagos for giving me the opportunity to learn this skill.
The facilitators for each department were called upon for recognition while different departments were called to make their presentations for the dignitaries on the high table.
