Speaking, the Acting Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of AEA, Chudi Ugwuada-Ezirigwe said training is aimed at reducing poverty and employment rate in the council.
While commending the efforts of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, for ensuring the smooth inclusion of the rural populace, especially the youths in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, Ugwuada-Ezirigwe said the training will provide the needed opportunity for the youth, thereby reducing restiveness.

The managing director challenged the participants to show their commitment and dedication in the course of the training exercise.
