Umar Mohammed Bago Foundation, &#8220;we followed our structure meticulously and picked people that were either jobless or who didn&#8217;t have anything they were doing, including those that needed empowerment or people that needed to hadid experience in different vocational trainings&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>She pointed out that the Hon. Umar Mohammed Bago Foundation felt that after these people from different constituents that make up Chanchaga Federal Constituency of the state must have learnt the trades, that they would be able to train others.<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Therefore, we asked them to form Cooperatives and they did.
