The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) says it has trained and empowered 27 people living with disabilities in Delta.

Mrs Beauty Aikhomu, the NDDC, Head of Department , Youth, Sports, Culture and Women Affairs, Warri Office, said the aim was to make them self-reliant.

NAN reports that the training, which started on April 6, covers: Confectionery, Bead making, Photography, Makeup . “NDDC is set up to affect lives of everybody in the Niger Delta positively; so, it will not be out of place in doing more of this kind of programme, if need be. “I can say categorically that the programme is successful, because during exhibition and testimony time, some of the trainees have started making money from the skills in their neighborhoods,” she said.

“The centre was peaceful, even before the closing ceremony, some of the trainees have started making money. Those that make shoes, bags, cake, beads and others have started selling. Misan-Ruppee commended the NDDC for organising such a programme, noting that the gesture had given the physically challenged people a sense of belonging in the oil producing region.Otobo advised his colleagues to put what they have learnt into practice.“I thank NDDC for putting smile on our faces. This is the first of its kind and we are looking forward to the second batch,” he said.
