Earlier, Sen. Nyako stressed the need for the commission to provide vocational technical training and mentorship for young men and women in the region through Local Apprenticeship Scheme.

Nyako explained that the local apprenticeship scheme was a neighbourhood empowerment project, which focused on removing young people from the streets by linking them to Master Trainers within the same community.

” This will enable them to learn local trades such as motor mechanic, panel beating, volcanising, tailoring and the likes, with a monthly stipend for both the Master Trainer and the Trainee,” he said.

The former lawmaker, who represented Adamawa Central Senatorial District from 2015 to 2019, said the concept was discovered to be alot cheaper, more broad-based and with the potential to improving neighbourhood security.
