A total of 832 artisans, mostly orphaned as a result of the over one decade Boko Haram insurgency, have graduated from the Borno State Enterprise Institute.
The event was presided over by the Borno State governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, yesterday at the Muna Vocational Enterprise Institute, along the Dikwa-Gamboru highway in Jere local government area.
The trainees were selected from across the 27 local government areas of Borno State and have undergone training in 14 different trades; among them, 54 graduates specialised in aluminum fabrication, 29 in bricklaying, 48 in carpentry and 73 in information technology.

Others include 41 specialising in barbing, 46 in electrical work, 85 in leatherworks, 40 in plumbing, 72 in mechanics, 67 in solar technology, 148 in tailoring, 18 in tie and dye, 59 in welding and 53 in hairdressing.
In his address, Zulum said similar vocational institutes were established in Biu, Shani, Mafa and Magumeri adding that plans are being made to revive vocational centres in Dikwa, Kaga, Ngala, Gajiram and Monguno.
The governor noted that vocational institutes were established to address the challenges of youth unemployment and provide means of livelihood to the people.

“Upon assuming office, one of the primary objectives of my administration has been youth empowerment. We were acutely aware of the devastating impact of insurgency on our communities, leaving many without means of livelihood and leading to widespread unemployment, idleness, and despair. As the saying goes, ‘an idle mind is the devil’s workshop’,” Zulum said.
He added, “To address these challenges head-on, we established Vocational Enterprise Institutes, focusing on admitting vulnerable individuals, particularly those affected by the insurgency, to equip them with skills for sustainable livelihoods.”

Earlier in his address, the commissioner for education, science, technology and innovation, Engr Lawan Abba Wakilbe said with funding allocated by Governor Zulum to the Technical and Vocational Enterprises, the output across all centres is targeted at over 4,000 artisans annually.

Meanwhile, Governor Babagana Umara Zulum approved the distribution of starter kits worth N847,277,297 to each of the 832 trained artisans in addition to another N349,440,000 one-year labour-intensive public work grant that will help them attain self-reliance.
Zulum also approved N41,600,000, with each of the 832 graduating artisans getting N50,000.
