The Federation Of Muslim Women’s Associations in Nigeria, Osun State chapter has changed women to be creative in utilising resources available to them and avoid wastage, given the economic situation in the country.
The Osun State Chairperson of the association, Alhaja Sadiat Oladapo, gave the charge in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.
She spoke during a press conference heralding the 2024 edition of the Annual FOMWAN Week.
Alhaja Oladapo advised women to strive to acquire useful skills that would enable them to make legitimate income, become self-reliant and contribute to household expenses.
She noted that FOMWAN has trained about 200 women in the state on wealth creation as part of events marking the FOMWAN week.
She said the main objective of the training is to empower indigent women to gain skills that would enable them to earn legitimate income to support their husbands.
