He noted that the training aligns with his commitment to provide impactful, sustainable projects for the region. The youths were selected from nine local governments, with 28 participants per council.
“This initiative builds on an earlier training program that saw 50 youths empowered, one of whom has now secured admission to further his studies in Russia” he said
The technical trainer, Engineer Ibrahim Taoreed Bayo, lauded Senator Yaroe’s efforts, emphasizing that the participants would receive globally-standard training in solar installation, maintenance, and functionality.
He urged the trainees to take the opportunity seriously, as the skills gained could position them for success in the fast-evolving digital world.

He encouraged the beneficiaries to pass on their knowledge to others in their communities.
In their goodwill messages, Hon. Neido Kofulto Geoffrey, Commissioner of Women Affairs, and Hon. Innocen Kotto, Chairman of Numan Local Government Council, commended Senator Yaroe for his commitment to empowering the youth and fostering development.
