Zamfara to train 1,000 women in computer literacy – Commissioner

The Zamfara Government says it will train 1,000 women on computer application as part of its efforts to ensure computer literacy among them.

Hajiya Balkisu Bungudu, the Commissioner for Women and Children Affairs, said this on Tuesday in Gusau while defending the ministry’s 2014 budget at the House of Assembly.

She said the programme would begin in Jan. 2014, adding that the women would be selected from the 14 local government areas of the state.

The commissioner said that women in the state, especially those in rural areas, were not given the opportunities to develop their human capacity, adding that they deserved consideration.

Bungudu said the current administration in the state was committed to ensuring that women were empowered.

She urged them to cooperate with the government in its crusade to transform the state.

Alhaji Aliyu Kagara, Chairman, Committee on Finance and Appropriation, said it would involve the people while working on the budget.
