Mr Taase Awuriki Abednego, the Virtual Arts and Home Economy teacher said his outfit was committed to inspiring younger
people to make the best out of themselves always and that was a good opportunity to impart on the younger generation skills
‘I have interest in helping students who are passionate about gaining life skills for themselves and this training is the perfect opportunity to help them,’ he said.
Mr Awuriki encouraged all youth to continually seek to get some life skills training to attach to their education to gain more profit as the world was changing to a more practical approach to things.
