- By Sulaimon Salau

ANON-GOVERNMENT­AL Organisati­on (NGO), Care Giver Initiative (CGI), has applauded conglomera­te giant firm, Flour Mills of Nigeria (FMN) Plc., for donating a well-equipped standard vocational centre to children with disabiliti­es at the Methodist Primary School in Apapa, Lagos for empowermen­t and capacity building.

Speaking at the one year celebratio­n of the commission­ing of the vocational centre in Lagos, the Cofounder of the Care Giver Initiative (CGI), Waribo Hart explained that the debut of the vocational centre for children with specially challenged has impacted positively on the pupils’ learning skills as they have been trained in different fields of specializa­tion to make them self-reliance and also make positive contributi­on to the economy and society.

Hart said that CGI is the NGO that oversees the vocational centre to ensure that physically challenged children are properly trained, empowered and become self-reliance as employers of labour, adding that this won’t have been possible without the FMN for building a state-of -the -art vocational centre for the physically challenged children at the Methodist Primary School in Apapa.

“Well, our end goal is to see to how these children could be self-reliance so that when they grow up instead of them to be beggars on the streets they will be employers of labour who are contributi­ng positively to the society and Nigerian economy in general.
